OEA-Retired Delegates to the OEA Representative Assembly

Posted on by

A new OEA election year kicks off in September. There is some important election information below. If you are interested in being involved and having your voice heard, please consider running for one of the upcoming open positions:

OEA-Retired delegate to the OEA Representative 2024-2025 Fall and Spring Assemblies.

OEA-Retired Advisory Council positions that are available. There is a vacancy position available to elect this fall election and multiple Advisory council seats available to elect for the spring election.

NEA-Retired Delegate seats that will attend next year’s NEA Representative Assembly.

Things to note

Declaration of candidacy deadline dates have changed on the forms, so please pay attention to when the forms are due back to OEA.

Submitting your Forms

You are welcome to scan or take a clear picture of the forms (Front and back) and send them in that way.

You can fill out the form electronically, save it, and send them back that way.
Lastly, you are always welcome to print and mail your declarations back into us, but please remember the mail system can be slow at times. If you are emailing form in, please email them to the provided email address on the specific form.  Please do not send your submission to William Baird’s personal email address.

Another change is the shortening of the election time periods. Elections will run 21 days and not 30.

You will still be afforded the option to vote online or by mailed paper ballot. Paper ballots will still be mailed to all retired members and electronic ballots will be sent to all retired members; you may choose which option you want to use.

If you are choosing the mailed ballot option, please vote and return your ballot right away. The move to 3 weeks, has several advantages, including housing preparation for delegates, allowing the delegates to attend all district representative assemblies, and it reduces the over all cost of the election.

In addition to the OEA Representative assemblies, OEA-R Delegates will attend the OEA-R Delegate Assembly in advance of each OEA Representative assembly and . OEA-R Delegates elected from NEOEA will also attend all NEOEA Representative Assemblies.
