AEA had the distinct honor and pleasure to host the NEA Region 2 meeting of presidents and executive directors the past two days.

NEA Elect Princess Moss graced us with her presence on Monday to share her vision. With the help of Vice President Roy Vaughn, we were able to arrange for a meeting between her and Elizabeth Eckford of the Little Rock nine and it was truly magical to listen to her story. Talk about motivation to continue the fight!

We want to thank Emry Chesterfield and the Pulaski County Special School District for providing transportation to everywhere we went.

A special shout out to Michelle Foisy and Shola Taylor at NEA for coordinating with us, and Suzanne Cearly at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown Little Rock for being so accommodating and the special note a gift for the incoming president!

More gratitude to Lindsay Svendsen at the Clinton Presidential Center for arranging our meal and tour, as well as Susana O'Daniel for coming in from DC to catch us up on all the things!

Although it was an extremely short visit, we accomplished a lot of work together.
