2021 NEA ESP NATIONAL CONFERENCE: EDUCATION SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS-OUR DEMOCRACY, OUR RESPONSIBILITY, OUR TIME!
The 2021 NEA Education Support Professional (ESP) National Conference will take place virtually March 19-21 and continue on March 26 with a special ESP of the Year awards celebration. The NEA ESP National Conference is the premier professional development opportunity for education support professionals across the nation.
The conference offers more than 45 professional learning opportunities over the course of three days. In addition to providing networking and professional development opportunities, the NEA ESP conference is also the national platform for announcing the recipient of the prestigious NEA ESP of the Year Award.
Registration for the ESP conference is open to NEA members only and will be free this year. The conference will accommodate up to 2,000 registrants and we anticipate spaces will fill quickly.

NEA LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT 101: FOUNDATIONAL COURSE FOR ACTIVISTS AND LEADERS
The NEA Center for Governance Leadership Development Team worked directly with members to develop and launch a foundational level, interactive course for members. The course is titled “Leadership Development 101: A Foundational Course for Activists and Leaders”. The course is designed to assist educators in understanding the NEA Leadership Competency Framework and the value of the framework as a lens and tool for educators to develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviors to become stronger practitioners and association leaders and includes stories from members from Maryland and Alabama who have attended the NEA National Leadership Summit and used their training to advance their careers, the profession, and the association. The course is the first of a two-part course, though the courses are written in a way that they can be completed individually. The team anticipates the second course will be completed and launched in early February.
You likely already have an account, but in the event you do not, you will need to create a login to access the course. Once you have logged into the site (https://neapartnera.learnupon.com/users/sign_in), the course can be found by searching the Course Catalog and typing the words “leadership development.”
