The NWOEA RA Event is at University of Toledo on April 25, 2024. Delegates from Northwestern Ohio will meet to for this Representative Assembly to conduct Association Business. We will have pictures soon.
Delegates to the NWOEA RA are to be elected annually in accordance with practices determined by the local’s Constitution and By-laws. Local associations are entitled to one NWOEA delegate for each 40 members or major fraction thereof, based on NWOEA membership of the current year (to help you compute this figure, review Table A).
Again this year NWOEA will hold a short orientation preceding the RA for first-time delegates. Local presidents need to check all first-time attendees on their delegate certification form so that first-time attendees can receive notification of the orientation. The orientation is also open to veteran delegates, if they wish to attend.
At the 77th NWOEA Representative Assembly many important decisions will be made that have a direct impact on our locals. It is vital to have everyone’s input. To insure maximum representation, locals are encouraged to elect NWOEA delegates and to send their OEA delegates to the NWOEA RA. NWOEA delegates are IN ADDITION to the local’s OEA delegates, because OEA delegates are already automatic delegates to the NWOEA RA with voting rights. Be advised that OEA alternates have voting rights at the NWOEA RA, only if they are replacing an absent OEA delegate or if they have also been elected by your local as NWOEA delegates.
