The ultimate decision-making body of NTEA is the Representative Council. The Representative Council consists of the elected officers and Building Representatives from each building and four Educator of Color/At-Large Representatives. These elected leaders propose and debate actions to be taken by the NTEA Executive Board, Committee Chairs, Liaisons, and the Representatives themselves by making motions, moving New Business Items (NBI Form), proposing New Resolutions or amending existing Resolutions, and general oversee the operations of the Association.
Each building or worksite may have one representative for each twenty (20) NTEA members (NTEA Bylaws: Article IX Representatives). The Representative Council normally meets one Wednesday each month at 4:30 p.m. The meetings are open to all dues-paying members and are usually held at the NTPS Board Room.
