UEN Annual Meeting/Dinner

Members of the UEN gather each November to hear about the organization's legislative platform and ensure members are well-prepared to express and share urban priorities. Advocacy resources and tools are shared and members hear a preview of the upcoming legislative session. Small group discussions and networking will take place as well.

  • A UEN Annual Dinner Invitation will be posted soon to include in board packets as a "save the date".
  • Registration is now open for UEN Member District Superintendents, Board Members, Business Managers, District Leaders, and others upon invitation.
    • Individuals - Register Here
    • Board Secretaries - if you are registering multiple people or your entire board at once, just email Jen Albers each attendee's name, title, email address, and any dietary restrictions (instead of using the registration form above).
  • NOTE: We remind all attendees to guard against deliberation or decision-making. However, if a quorum of your board members attends and chooses to sit together, discussions might appear to be or might become a violation of the State’s open meetings law, if seeking information morphs into deliberation/decision-making, unless the UEN Annual Dinner/Meeting is posted and accessible to the public.
