New Business Items:  NEA-Retired delegates have an option to submit New Business Items (NBIs) either online or in-person. This Smartsheet is to be used for the virtual submission of NBIs prior to the NEA-Retired Annual Meeting. 

Deadlines for the NEA-Retired NBI Submission process: 

  • The deadline for the online submission of NBIs is 5:00 pm ET, on May 30, the last business day in May. The Smartsheet will be closed after this date/time.
  • The deadline for in-person submission of NBIs is June 29 (the first day of the NEA-Retired Annual Meeting) at 4:00 p.m. in the time zone of the meeting host city. 

Delegates submitting an online NBI should not submit the same NBI in-person at the meeting; only new NBIs should be submitted on Day 1 of the NEA-Retired Annual Meeting.

NEA-Retired member Marilyn Warner
Through my local, state, and national involvement on various committees, I get to see the enthusiasm of active educators and hear about the projects they’re working on. It’s important to stay involved and help keep public education alive. As a retiree, I have time to work during the day and help the association.
