This year, the NEOEA Public Relations Committee will once again sponsor a local association
newsletter contest.
Each year, the PR Committee honors outstanding newsletters submitted by local associations
within NEOEA. NEOEA attempts to recognize outstanding newsletters from small, medium, and
large associations and from local affiliates of all types, including Education Support
Personnel, MR/DDs, Career Centers, and Higher Education locals. Winners are recognized at the
fall Representative Assembly and in News and Views and receive a plaque honoring them
for their work.
Newsletters judged outstanding usually show a balance in coverage of news from NEA, OEA,
and NEOEA, with special emphasis on local association news.
The decision of the committee is final; entries remain the property of NEOEA and
will not be returned.
