Convention includes annual research and teacher forums.
This is a major in-service and staff development activity for members and interested others. The convention features nationally prominent congressional representatives, state governors, chief state school officers, U.S. Department of Education officials, and speakers from leading national businesses, corporations and Educational Associations. A highlight is a half-day excursion to a nearby point of interest or recreational site and a theme dinner featuring fun and camaraderie. These include state meetings held by NREA Affiliate Associations. Many NREA members serve on regional rural education advisory panels, sub-committees, and task forces.
