It’s almost time for NEA’s Annual Representative Assembly (RA) for 2013.  Like you we, are probably preparing for this year’s RA in Atlanta, GA! The RA consists of over 9000 educators representing state and local affiliates, student members, retired members, and other segments of the united education profession.

NEA HIN hosts the Hall of Health (and Safety) to showcase various programs, resources and organizations that promote health and safety.  Well here’s what you can expect from NEA HIN this year at the exhibit hall:

•    Learn how you can order from our new online store
•    Donate to the NEW Jerald L. Newberry School Safety Fund
•    Visit the Bag the Junk booth for fun photo-ops and enter the raffle for a $300 grocery gift card

Each year in the Hall of Health we invite NEA HIN partners to join us to promote health and wellness.  When you come to the exhibit hall please stop by and visit them.  This year we welcome our partners:
