The Higher Education Conference offers members the opportunity to submit proposals and present workshops; network with colleagues from across the country; attend sessions on professional development, organizing, racial justice, collective bargaining, and others; hear from NEA’s top officers, and participate in the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) membership meeting.
