2023-2024 NEA Board of Directors for Retired Alternates

When a Retired NEA Board of Directors Alternate is needed to temporarily substitute for an Retired NEA Board of Directors member, the Board Alternate is selected in order of seniority.  Seniority is calculated on total years serving as an elected NEA-Retired Alternate, including both consecutive and non-consecutive years of service. If two Board Alternates are elected the same year and neither has served in the position previously, seniority is determined by the person who received the higher number of votes.

  • Current Term:  9/2021 – 8/2024
