Delegate Check-in/Non-Delegate Member and Guest Registration: All delegates will register online before they arrive in Philadelphia and will need to only check-in upon arrival at the hotel. Retired members who are not delegates, and all guests, must register onsite in the meeting hotel. 

Delegate check-in and member non-delegate and guest registration will be held on the following dates and times. The room in which check-in/registration will be held will be shared once the hotel is confirmed. Additional details about check-in for delegates with physical challenges is forthcoming.

  • June 29: 2:00 – 5:30 p.m.
  • June 30: 7:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
  • July 1: 7:15 a.m. – noon

Agenda: Download the agenda here.

SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR THE 2024 RETIRED ANNUAL MEETING: 

  • A 2023 Retired Annual Meeting NBI mandated that Retired state delegations be seated together on the meeting floor. The NEA-Retired Executive Council is working through the processes now of how the NBI will be addressed, and information will be shared on this webpage once plans are finalized. 
  • On June 30th, the doors to the General Session Ballroom will open at 9:00 a.m., 30 minutes prior to the beginning of the meeting. Ballroom doors have traditionally opened at 7:30 a.m., when delegate check-in and member non-delegate and guest registration opens that day.  The reason behind this change is that the room is being used for sound checks by the hotel AV staff prior to 9 a.m.

Retired Governing Documents:  Please visit this webpage to view the current version of the governing documents and to view the accompanying documents providing instructions on how to amend the governing documents. 

New Business Items:  The deadline to submit New Business Items (NBIs) online for the 2024 Retired Annual Meeting has passed. Delegates will still be able to submit NBIs during the 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.
Quote by: Marilyn Warner, Retired Elementary School Teacher
