Last week, four leaders from DEA attended the National Council of Urban Education Associations fall conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This conference was a great chance for our leaders to communicate with others from the largest local associations in the country. They had three busy days of workshops and discussions focusing on issues facing the NEA along with state and local units. NEA Vice President and former Utah teacher Lily Eskelson addressed those in attendance. Building Reps will be updated on issues facing the association at their meetings next Monday and Tuesday. This photo was taken while the DEA delegation was changing flights in the Phoenix airport on the trip home Saturday night. Southwest Airlines offered free photos with Santa. Don Paver, Jessica Dunn, Susan Firmage, and Valerie Lindeman took advantage of the chance.
