UEA House of Delegates
On Saturday April 25, the Utah Education Assoiciation (UEA) held their annual House of Delegates Convention. Teacher delegates met at Alta High School to hear about pertinant information, honor outstanding educators and education advocates. A number of bills were presented to the delegates for debate and voting. Bill number B2 was written to freeze the UEA dues for one year, after much debated this bill was defeated. Bill number B5 would have added a new section to Article I, Section 1.4 of the UEA Bylaws, it would have created a different due structure and cost for teachers in the first three years of teaching. Again after much debate this bill was defeated. Bonneville UniServ director Ron Firmagae and Executive Secretary Glenda Anderson cooked yummy steaks for the Bonneville UniServ delegates. The four locals contributed salads, rolls, dutch oven beans, and cookies for the lunch. A big "Thank You!" for all who contributed to this busy day.
