DELEGATE FUNDING: WEA-Retired delegates are considered WEA state delegates to the NEA-RA. Flights, lodging at the state assigned hotel, meal allowance, and an incidentals allowance (transportation) is paid by WEA. WEA-Retired pays for expenses during the NEA-Retired Annual Meeting which includes transportation to the assigned hotel (taxi), lodging, and meal allowance. WEA-Retired Board of Directors approved a policy June 8, 2011, regarding the funding of delegates to the NEA-Retired Annual Meetings/NEA Representative Assemblies. WEA-Retired is eligible to send 7 delegates and, in accord with that policy, if WEA-Retired leadership determines that WEA-Retired cannot afford to fully fund 7 delegates to the NEA-Retired Annual Meetings/NEA Representative Assemblies, there will be some out-of-pocket expenses.
