Lake Washington Education Association

Over the last several days in Denver, LWEA delegates at the NEA Representative Assembly helped usher in a new set of leaders at the NEA level and welcomed our new WEA President, Janie White. As the largest labor union in the United States, these delegates gathered with other members from around the nation to vote on policies and priorities that will promote, protect, and strengthen public education.
