Friend, Yep, you read that right. This weekend's Progressive Summit will have not ONE, not TWO, but THREE incredible keynote speakers. Today, I'm thrilled to announce that we will be joined this weekend by Becky Pringle, the President of the National Education Association.
NEA President Becky Pringle is a fierce social justice warrior, defender of educator rights, an unrelenting advocate for all students and communities of color, and a valued and respected voice in the education arena. A middle school science teacher with 31 years of classroom experience, Becky is singularly focused on using her intellect, passion, and purpose to unite the members of the largest labor union with the entire nation, and using that collective power to fulfill the promise of public education. Becky was elected in 2020 as COVID-19 ravaged Black, Brown, and indigenous communities nationwide. Before assuming NEA’s top post, Becky served as NEA vice president and before that as NEA secretary-treasurer. She directed NEA’s work to combat institutional racism, and spotlight systemic patterns of racism and educational injustice that impact students. The Association’s goal is to ensure the systemic, fair treatment of people of all races so that equitable opportunities and outcomes are within reach for every student. Get your tickets now — it's your last chance! And that’s not all — we’ll also have keynotes from Kris Brown, President of Brady, and John L. Smith, an award-winning Nevada journalist and author. And don't worry, we'll also have appearances by your FAVORITE elected officials from right here in Nevada. The Summit kicks off TOMORROW at 9 a.m.! It's your LAST CHANCE to register. Make sure that you register, or apply for a FREE scholarship, so you don’t miss out on the skills, resources, and knowledge being shared as we head into the legislative session. Share our Facebook event to spread the word to your friends and family! See you soon,
