UFF Senators, FEA Delegates,
NEA Delegates, & AFL-CIO Delegates
Senator and Delegate positions provide an opportunity for GAU members to be involved in the processes governing our parent unions, United Faculty of Florida (UFF), the Florida Education Association (FEA), the National Education Association (NEA), the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), and the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). UFF Senators and FEA/NEA Delegates are invited to attend their respective sessions – UFF Senate, FEA Delegate Assembly, AFT Delegate Assembly, or NEA Representative Assembly – during their term. AFL-CIO Delegates attend general membership meetings for the North Central Florida chapter of the AFL-CIO.
UFF Senate is held each Fall and Spring semester, where Senators attend training sessions, discuss union issues with other higher-ed chapters in Florida, and vote on the UFF budget. The FEA Delegate Assembly is an annual meeting each Fall where delegates meet to discuss and debate statewide education issues and decide FEA's course for the next year. The NEA Representative Assembly is held during the final week of June and/or the first week of July where delegates vote by secret ballot on the strategic plan and budget, resolutions, Legislative Program, and other policies of the NEA.
UFF Senators, FEA Delegates, and AFL-CIO Delegates are elected during Spring UF-GAU elections. NEA Delegates are elected during the February UFF Senate session (so you must be a UFF senator to be a NEA delegate).
