Affiliation State—The education associations of the 48 states, 3 territories, and the District of Colum- bia are affiliated with the national Association. These groups are official units of the Associa- tion and are entitled to elect one delegate and one alternate to the Representative Assembly for each 100 of their members, or major frac- tion thereof, who are active members of the National Education Association up to 500 such members. Thereafter one delegate and one alter- nate may be chosen for each 500 of their mem- bers who are active members of the national Association. These are designated state delegates. The annual affiliation dues for a state are $10. Local—A local education association or teach- ers organization within a state, territory, or district may affiliate with the national Associa- tion and is then designated an affliated local association. Such an association becomes a unit in the organization of the national Association and is entitled to elect one delegate and one alternate to the Representative Assembly for each 100 of its members, or major fraction thereof, who are active members of the national Association. These delegates are designated local delegates. The annual affiliation dues of local associations are $5 for associations having less than 200 National Education Association mem- bers and $10 for associations having 200 or more National Education Association members. Affiliated associations receive, without appli- cation, all regular publications of the Associa- tion. [6]
