POJOAQUE NEA REORGANIZING

We met in January to begin the process of reorganizing our NEA local. There was discussion about continuing with officers or creating a leadership team of people who would represent elementary, middle and high school. Either way, we need to join together to get the work done. It’s also high priority to monitor what’s happening in the state legislature. And it’s essential for some of us to take advantage of the trainings NEA-NM has to offer.

We can send delegates to the Fall Delegate Council that will be held in Albuquerque on April 25, 2009. And on April 24, 2009, there’s a Spring Training where great sessions are available in school district budgets and how to understand them. In June, there are Summer Leadership Trainings. And if you’re thinking of getting more involved in NEA in the future, there an emerging leaders cade. Applications are being accepted. Go to the nea-nm.org web site for more information.

OUR NEXT MEETING: February 18, 2009. 4:30-5:45 p.m. Join us for dinner at the Sopapilla Factory in Pojoaque.
