NEA Director Gayle Jeffers (at left) led discussion around the issues of registration at the RA and within our Iowa delegation, she shared information around the NEA standing rules and resolutions as well as the budget, and described our state contact system.
NEA Director Jim Young (at right) spoke to the new delegates about new business items, amendments and voting, and the NEA officers and Executive Committee.
Team ISEA leaders from Marshalltown head up our Social Committee. Sally Hansen, Retired-ISEA member (on right) and Meg Sponseller (seated at left) shared with new delegates many ideas of making dinner connections, entertainment ideas, as well as where to find 7-11 stores for emergencies too.
ISEA Executive Director Jan Reinicke and I both shared in the orientation too. We are lucky to have such a great group of enthusiastic delegates who will make Team ISEA proud in the work they are about to undertake!

Good work keeping up blogging Linda! Americorps has kept me busy-- I think I am working a 60 hour week this week putting together a concert of 100 choir members, including 20 recently arrived refugees, with a local musical genius. But even in the craziness I miss ISEA!
I hope all is well, and am glad you have kept at it!
