NEA/RA Elections

2490 Guerneville Rd

Santa Rosa CA 95403 

As a reminder the NEA/RA Election will be electronic.  We will be using Simply Voting as the vendor for this election.  Emails for electronic voting are pulled from the CTA database.  If you have a school email on file, it will bounce back.  For this reason, we encourage everyone to update their contact information to include a non-school current email. Your members can update their emails in one of the following ways:

• Local leadership can change through CTA 360
• Call their local RRC
• Call Tina McKenzie at 707-544-1075

Please alert your members to add Simply Voting to their safe senders list.  This will aid in the emails not going to junk. 

Voting for the NEA/RA will begin on February 25, 2019. Simply Voting will send out reminder emails every three (3) days to non-voters until the end of the election which is March 8, 2019.  Attached is the NEA/RA Election Timeline along with an information document. 

If you have any questions, please contact Ed Malaret, Redwood Elections Chair at edmalaret@comcast.net.
