Over 9,000 delegates from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will gather in Philadelphia., Penn., from June 30 - July 5, 2007, to attend the 86th annual National Education Association (NEA) Representative Assembly.

The slogan for this year’s annual meeting is “Fighting For Great Public Schools—yesterday. Today.
