The Representative Assembly (RA) is the policy-making body of the Ohio Education Association.
It is comprised of members who have been elected as delegates to represent their Local Associations.
The OEA-RAs are held twice annually, once in the fall and again in the spring. Delegates collaborate to establish Association policies and objectives, elect officers, adopt a budget, adopt/evaluate the legislative program, act on resolutions, as well as act on new business items as needed.
Any member is welcome to attend an OEA-RA as a guest. However, per the OEA Constitution, its bylaws, provisions and policy, only recognized delegates may participate in debates and votes.
Additional questions or concerns should be directed to the OEA Elections & Conference Coordinator, William Baird, at 800‐282‐1500, ext. 3169 (614‐227‐3169), or by email, bairdw@ohea.org.
