6 Tracks to Lead the Way A great opportunity awaits you at the OEA Summer Leadership Conference! This conference offers six main tracks to allow members to dive into issues in-depth and come away with the tools to assist their local in the important work we do. Participants are asked to sign up for a main track plus a workshop for Day 3. Members will have flexibility to attend other track sessions as space allows. It is our hope that locals will bring teams to the Summer Leadership Conference, so that you have a few team members in several different tracks. Three opportunities for team time will be offered to discuss the various strategies from sessions and create an action plan that will help build power in each individual local.

Our Summer Leadership Conference will respect all members’ diversity by insuring their rights and worth are supported and defended. Further, we are committed to integrating the educational needs of all our members into the curriculum including Higher Ed, ESP, ESDs, and Teachers. The six tracks are as follows: Track 1
