The NEA-Retired Local/State e-Newsletter Award identifies, recognizes and amplifies electronic NEA-Retired newsletters that exhibit good journalism and show broad and effective coverage of issues relevant to members (e.g., COLAs, insurance, health care, pensions and community service). The electronic newsletter will be evaluated on the following criteria: writing; design; message development; and effectiveness in showcasing members, their interests, and issues.

The award deadline is April 15 at 5:00 pm of the award year. This award submission can be done via this online form which requires links to two editions of a publication, and this the preferred method of nomination.

NOTE: New Award Category for State, Regional, and Local Retired e-Newsletters

Affiliates with 2,500 members OR LESS now have separate categories, however the awards criteria and required documents remain the same. Membership numbers must be acquired from the NEA Membership Services Department or your state Retired Membership Committee Chair by January 15 of each year.
