Your leadership is needed!
Several NSEA leadership positions will be up for election in 2026, and members are asked to consider the role they could play as a leader in the Association.
The window for filing for the 26 open positions on NSEA district boards and the NSEA Board of Directors will begin on Thursday, Jan. 1, and will close on Sunday, Jan. 25. Election of members as at-large delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly will occur during the same timeline.
Election for NSEA Vice President will take place at Delegate Assembly 2026. Watch the January digital edition of The Voice for details on that filing process.
NSEA members will vote for district positions beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6. On that date, members with valid personal email addresses on file will receive an email detailing the process. Voting will close at midnight on Sunday, March 1.
The filing process allows candidates to post a 50-word statement for voters to read. Type the statement in a Word or other text document and then paste the statement into the appropriate box during the filing process.
NSEA encourages minorities to seek office at all levels. NSEA’s Minority Involvement Plan says, “It shall be the goal of the Association to seek minority representation on governing and appointive bodies at least equal to the percentage of minority membership for that appropriate level.”
Members can elect the next round of NSEA leaders by casting a ballot in the Association elections.
Email Address Needed
NSEA members without a valid email address on file will receive a postcard explaining the voting. If you do not receive a postcard or an email from NSEA by Friday, Feb. 13, call 1-800-742-0047.
Update your e-mail address with NSEA by calling 1-800-742-0047 or sending an email to membership@nsea.org. Members should use a personal email account, not a school-issued one.
