Executive Board


The Executive Board is the elected governing body of United Association for Labor Education.

According to our Constitution, the E-Board meets at least twice per year, typically in the spring (on conference years we meet during the conference) and the fall. In practice, we meet several additional times via conference call.

Meetings of the E-Board are normally open to all members in good standing of the Association to attend. (Of course, members of UALE who are not E-Board members do not have a vote in these meetings.) However, the E-Board may go into executive session to discuss issues not appropriate to public session.

The E-Board is made up of 16 people:
