Frequently Asked Questions for Elected Delegates

2008 - Washington DC

The NEA Web Site about the Annual Meeting

Where do I get information about the NEA RA? The MTA starts to send out information in early May to state delegates. The MCCC does not handle this. This page is unofficial, but designed to answer questions you may have before you begin to receive official information from the MTA.
Some of the information below is from the NEA Site link above, especially the "Tentative Agenda" and the "State Housing" links.

What dates do I have to attend for funding?
You must attend at least 6 out of 8 of the business sessions. There are two business sessions per day

Thursday July 3

Friday July 4

Saturday July 5

Sunday July 6

Recommended travel dates are 6/30 and 7/7, but for funding purposes the dates above apply

Other attendance considerations?

There are state delegation meetings every morning starting on Wednesday July 2, 7-9 am.

Mandatory NEA Pre-Convention Meeting The MTA conducts an NEA Pre-Convention Meeting in early June. The MTA will notify you of the date and location. It will be on Wednesday June 11, at the Best Western Royal Plaza in Marlboro, starting at 4:30 pm with a light dinner buffet.

Who makes travel arrangements? Delegates make their own travel arrangements. The MTA information sometimes has info on discount travel arrangements.
Very unofficially, there are lots of good flights to Washington National Airport (DCA) from Boston. The Washington metro line is right at this airport, fast, clean, and easy to use. The hotel is between two metro stops. Dulles airport is more difficult for ground transportation.

Tell me about the attendance requirement for financial support. Read about it here. Make sure you get the paper documentation from the MTA at the meeting. You MUST turn in this documentation with receipts to the MCCC for MCCC reimbursement. The MTA stipend is handled by the MTA.

How do I obtain my MCCC reimbursement? Assuming you qualify... Mail an MCCC expense reimbursement form with (1) receipts and (2) Attendance verification slips for 6 or the 8 business sessions to the MCCC office. Make copies of anything you mail to us. We will not be responsible for lost materials - mistakes happen by you and by us, so that's why you need to make copies before you mail anything.

The reimbursement form with mailing address.
