Engage Grant
To help locals become involved in the Association at the state level, NWOEA is offering funding through the Local Delegate Assistance to OEA Spring RA Engage Grant. This grant offers assistance to local associations which have not recently attended OEA RA’s by providing funds to send delegates to the 2017 OEA Spring RA. Delegates to representative assemblies elect officers, adopt budgets, approve governing documents, and set the policies that determine the direction of the Association. Locals that do not send delegates to the RA’s are forfeiting the rights they have as a member of a democratic organization.

Any delegate interested in applying for this grant should submit to the NWOEA Center by March 31, 2017, a letter of interest including delegate contact information and the local association president’s signature.
The NWOEA Board of Directors urges all local associations to hold elections for OEA and NWOEA delegates.
