Minority Involvement Plan
“It is the policy of the Association to
achieve ethnic minority delegate
representation at least equal to the
proportion of identified ethnic minority
populations within the state.”
Utah’s NEA Representative Assembly (RA) Delegation
The 2010 Census shows Utah has a 20 percent ethnic population
RA Ethnic Minority Goal: 20 percent of our attending delegates are ethnic minority
RA Ethnic Minority Attendance: 6 to 14 percent of our attending delegates
?? Can we do better??
In addition to trying to achieve the numerical goal …
…We must remember that our most important goal is to recognize our responsibility for the meaningful involvement of ethnic minority members.
We need a commitment throughoutall levels of the organization
for this to be successful.
