Join us at an upcoming NEU Conference, an invaluable opportunity to enhance your professional journey and amplify your impact within the education sector.

By attending, you will gain insights into the latest educational practices, policies, and activism strategies that can empower not only your teaching but also your community.

We understand that attending a conference involves an investment, and we want to assure you that your membership contributions are being utilised effectively. In return for your attendance, we ask that you actively engage with the knowledge you acquire.

We encourage you to participate as an activist, share insights and strategies, and summarise key takeaways to provide invaluable feedback to the District.

The experience you gain and the connections you make will not only enrich your professional practice but also enable you to support your colleagues. If you’re not already a representative, consider stepping into this vital role. By sharing what you learn and advocating for your fellow members, you contribute to a stronger, more unified voice within our education system.

Take this opportunity to grow as an educator and an activist. Together, we can transform our insights into actions that foster positive change in our schools and communities. Secure your place at the NEU Conference and join a network of dedicated professionals committed to making a difference. Your involvement is crucial – let’s make the most of your membership investment today.
