2024 NEA RA - Gathering educators from across the country in Philadelphia
Washington EA NEA RA delegates,
2024 NEA RA is almost here, and we get to meet in person again!! Delegates to this year’s meeting will be attending NEA RA in Philadelphia, PA.
Dates: This year, the NEA Representative Assembly will be held in person in Philadelphia, July 3-7, 2024. NEA RA will not have a virtual option this year.
WEA Hotel: Philadelphia Marriott Old City. As in the past, double occupancy versus single occupancy will be a decision made at the local level. WEA will be sharing this hotel with Arizona. Local and Council Presidents will receive an email with the contact information of WEA's reservation team at the Marriott Old City to make their local delegates lodging reservations. WEA will not be covering state delegates travel and lodging in 2024.
Philadelphia Marriott lodging pricing: $219 plus .75% Hospitality fee and 15.5% tax for Single or Double bed rooms.
