Delegate Packet

Posted here upon publication, this area contains the entire 2017 delegate registration packet for interested delegates, who may choose from among contents to download to your device in advance of your travel to Boston, MA.

Delegates have the option to be “green” using online content instead of the traditional printed packet. Pre-registered green delegates have a letter “G” printed on their delegate badge and receive green ribbons to indicate their participation plus a copy of the RA program booklet. During registration on June 30-July 1 any interested delegate not designated as “green” may check in with NEA staff to change status. All delegates are encouraged to view and/or download the contents you need to your personal device before arriving in Boston.
