Three BTEA members, Mary MacRae, Janine Quimby, and David Yastremski attended the largest democratically organized meeting in the world when they joined over 6,000 NEA members to discuss and debate the policies, beliefs, and actions of the National Education Association.  The event, held at the Orlando Convention Center, entailed five days of deliberations, debate, and meetings starting on July 2nd and continued through July 6th.

Two highlights of the meeting included the keynotes by NEA President Lily Eskelson-Garcia and the National Teacher of the Year Shanna Peeples.
