The budget process at the NEA is an open one and Secretary-Treasurer Moss is asking NEA's higher education members, including every member of the National Council of Higher Education, to engage in this process. We have an opportunity for you to provide your input and plan to attend the strategic plan and budget session at the NEA Higher Education Conference. Read more, here.
