The DEA leadership is responsible for the governance of the Association. The leadership is comprised of elected leaders and building representatives.

The elected leadership makes up the “Executive Board“.

• This includes the President, Vice President, Secretary-Treasurer, one at-large member (Ethnic Minority Representative), three board members from two regions (north and south), one at-large member representing Secondary educators, one at-large member representing Elementary educators, and the UEA Board Member for Davis UniServ.
• The board meets monthly during the school year to direct the business of the DEA.
• Board members serve for two years (except in the case of an appointment to fill a vacancy), and members are limited to two consecutive terms.

The building representatives make up the “Representative Council”. 

• Each school elects one faculty member (two in larger schools) to be the school’s designated Association Representative (“AR” or sometimes called Building Rep).
• That faculty member is the go-to person for any questions or concerns for the Association, and acts as a guide for teachers to get access to the resources they need. 
• The AR attends the monthly AR meeting where they receive information that they pass on to the faculty at their school.

If you do not know who your building representative is, reach out to either the board member who has your school as a liaison school, or the administrative assistant.
