NEOEA-R Sub-Committees

The NEOEA-Retired Organizing Committee established a Sub-Committee structure in an effort to involve more NEOEA Retired members and build a strong organization of NEOEA Retirees.  Any NEOEA-R member who is also a member of OEA-R and NEA-R is eligible to serve.

The NEOEA-Retired Sub-Committees are:

  • Conference – plan and conduct the NEOEA-R Spring Conference and workshops at the NEOEA MegaConference and the NEOEA Summer Leadership Conference.
  • Outreach – active with the OEA/NEA Read Across America program reading to children at schools and libraries and the OEA-Retired Intergenerational Mentoring Program pairing retired members with OSEA education students at local colleges.
  • Political Action – candidate screenings and campaign work for the 2014 election.  House District committees will form late this fall and begin training.  An amendment to the OEA-FCPE C&B now provides a Retired seat on each House District Committee.  Retirees must live in the House District they apply for or in an adjacent HD and be an OEA-FCPE contributor and OEA-R member.
  • Membership – promotes OEA-R/NEA-R membership.  Volunteers are needed to contact/visit local associations in their area and offer to explain the Pre-Retired program to active members.  The committee works to establish contact with local Retiree groups throughout NEOEA.
  • Retirement – attends STRS, SERS, & PERS Retirement Board meetings and monitors their actions. 
  • Intra-Professional Action – an ad hoc committee to screen and endorse candidates for the OEA-Retired Advisory Council.
  • Cabinet – composed of the NEOEA-Retired Organizing Committee officers and the Newsletter/Web editor.
  • Delegate Caucus – composed of elected OEA-R Delegates and Alternates, including NEA-R Delegates.

Current members of the Retired Organizing Committee and those retirees serving on other NEOEA Committees form the core of the sub-committees, however any NEOEA-R/OEA-R/NEA-R member can serve.

The time commitment is minimal.  Much of the sub-committees’ work will be done online through email and postings on this website.

Your knowledge and Association experience are needed as we build a stronger NEOEA-R.  Please consider volunteering to serve on one or more of the new sub-committees.  We will attempt to accommodate all requests.
