Welcome to the 57th Delegate Assembly and especially to the Policy Assembly for Small/Rural Asociations Our theme this year: Rising to the Challenge Leading the Profession
Our Mission: NEA-Alaska exists to be an advocate for an excellent public education for each child in Alaska and to advance the interests of public school employees.
What is it? Members Committees Governance Staff
Members NEA-Alaska is a diverse organization of more than 13,000 teachers and other certificated staff, Education Support Professionals (ESPs), retired members, and students training to become teachers.
Committees Goal Team Delegate Assembly
NEA-AK Goal Team Committees Human and Civil Rights Committee Government Relations Committee Delegate Assembly Steering and Rules Political Action Committee on Education (PACE)
What is Delegate Assembly? Simply put, its an annual meeting held to give members of NEA-AK a chance to drive policy, set priorities and be heard
What do Delegates do? Evaluate NEA-AKs Services to Locals and propose new action accordingly (New Business Items, NBIs); Set lobbying priorities for the current legislative session (Legislative NBIs); Affirm and reaffirm our beliefs (Resolutions) adopt a budget (every other year);
Delegate Assembly Committees Section 1 page 1-2. Review prefiled motions (Section 4 page 1) Edit existing items Recommend (related to their goal area) New Business Items New Resolutions Legislative New Business Items
Delegate Assembly Committees Governance Retirement School Funding Strong Locals Employee Rights Collective Bargaining Professional Rights Communications Special Education Government Relations/Political Involvement Legislative Review*
What is PARSA? 80-4 PARSA: NEA-Alaska shall fund a Policy Assembly (for) Rural (or) Small School Associations (PARSA) for all delegates from associations with fewer than 150 members and all delegates from all REAAs.* Any larger local associations which have one or more small rural sites will be allowed to seat one delegate each at PARSA provided the delegate is currently from a small rural site. The chair of PARSA shall prepare a report summarizing action taken by the delegates attending PARSA. The report will be presented to all delegates at Delegate Assembly. (Amended by 82-97, 85-26, 89-CA, 90-72, 92-CA and 04-10, 05-49, and 06-14)
So how does PARSA impact Delegate Assembly? We generate: Legislative Items promote lobbying priorities New Business Items suggest that NEA-AK take action or adjust its current action Resolutions define our Rural Perspective on important issues where do we stand?
How do we orchestrate change in Alaska?

Another Legislative Item

How do we make suggestions about how NEA-AK does business? We introduce New Business Items (NBIs) NBIs are mandates from Delegate Assembly Must be acted upon by staff, leadership, or governance They come with a price a fiscal note attached
Status of 2012 New Business Items Notebook Section 5 Page 8
file://localhost/Users/krisbogg/Desktop/A 1. Delegate Assembly Policies, NBIs that establish continuing policies for NEA Alaska; 2. NBIs that have a termination date in the future; 3. NBIs with no termination date or termination dates in the past will be archived with online access as part of NEA- Alaska history. 11-55: Reorganization of DA NBIs: NEA Alaska shall reorganize Delegate Assembly NBIs as follows:
We Adopt and/or modify Resolutions Resolutions are simply statements of belief No action is required -- except you need to refer to your notebooks again. See if you can find it. C-3: Closed-Caption Video: NEA-Alaska believes all training videos produced and/or purchased should be closed- caption. (Amended by 89-166, 93-CA, 01- CA and 07-CA)
Another Resolution
Why are we at PARSA? PARSA gives us an opportunity to Collaborate with like minded rural and small school educators and ESPS, Discuss rural issues, organize our thoughts, practice our debate; and Compose our collective concerns into action items and/or resolutions
Members of PARSA present a strong, confident, unified front on the Delegate Assembly floor Caucus each morning to present a unified front on the Delegate Assembly floor; Help each other by being a second for motions; Speak in favor or in opposition according to our caucus; (or sometimes according to our own hearts), and Show up for the Legislative Review Committee meetings.
How do I present my ideas?

The effect of this motion is: This working lunch would allow us to adjourn earlier so we could possibly go shopping.
Debate on the Floor Always say your name and your locals name If youre going to make a motion have a second ready Use red paddle to speak against Use green paddle to speak for a motion Use either color to close debate Use yellow paddle to ask a real question
Well, that all sounds a little scary

What will we do today? What time is it over?
Committee Work Volunteer to Take Charge! Or volunteer to be a recorder! Group Leader: If you have one or more years experience as a delegate, help lead the small group discussion. Please make sure everyone is heard! First Item of Business: Hear Everyone at your table Address concerns --- write a NBI, Legislative Item or Resolution . Or beef up whats on the books
Create NBIs and Resolutions 1. Go around the table and discuss concerns. Once everyone has had the opportunity to present their issues to the committee, look in notebook to see if there is an NBI, Resolution or Legislative Item to address concern 2. If none: write NBI, Resolution or Legislative Item to present to PARSA (writing is best done in very small group) while other members continue to look at existing NBIs
Section 3 Delegate Assembly Documents Resolutions NBIs (goldenrod table of context by goal area and year introduced page 29) Page 39 index NBI by date introduced Legislative Program (green index page 41 by goal area. Last index page 61 by year introduced)
4. Look over Legislative Priorities and determine if committee has a recommendation to change priorities 5. If your committee has time, it may be a good idea to review current NBIs and Resolutions to see if they need beefed up.
What happens next? When the committees are ready to present their NBIs and resolutions, well practice parliamentary procedure. Well pass or fail your groups contributions.
Section 4 -- yellow Prefiled motions -- Board recommends Do Pass Can be amended through DA with a 2/3 vote -- must be prefiled by November 1 PACE guideline changes pink
VERY VERY IMPORTANT Please give me your NBIs and resolutions as soon as you can so they can be typed Dont hoard them! Our practice D.A. cant start until they are typed
