IEA Delegate Assembly Standing Rules

Idaho Education Association’s Delegate Assembly is our annual business meeting—where delegates set policy, adopt budgets, and guide the work of our union for the year ahead. These Standing Rules explain how the in-person assembly runs, including delegate credentials, debate and voting procedures, and how resolutions and new business move on the floor.
Exhibit S-1 (IEA's Constitution and Bylaws)

These Standing Rules shall govern the proceedings of the IEA Delegate Assembly when conducted as an in person (face-to-face) meeting.

Rule 1. Credentials Committee

1.1 Composition. The President, with concurrence of the Board of Directors, shall appoint individuals to the Credentials Committee for a term to coincide with the meeting of the Delegate Assembly. One of the members of the committee shall be appointed as the chair. (23)

The committee shall check the list of delegates when seating delegates and shall not seat any delegate not certified by their local association prior to the opening day of the Delegate Assembly; provided, that the delegates who appear later than the convening Delegate Assembly on the first day may be seated during the report of the Credentials Committee on the first day by action of the Delegate Assembly if their credentials are certified as valid by the credentials committee. The seating of such late delegates on the second day shall be the first order of business before official action on substantive issues during the second day of business. (03, 25)

The chairperson of the Credentials Committee shall give a report to the Delegate Assembly on the second day of business before official action on substantive issues. That report shall include the number of local associations represented, the total of local delegates, the total of ex officio delegates and the total number of all delegates.

Rule 2. Certification of Delegates

2.1. Delegate Allocations. On September 1 the IEA headquarters office shall notify local affiliates, and other qualified affiliates, of the process and procedures for election of delegates and alternates to the IEA Delegate Assembly. The IEA headquarters office shall notify local affiliates, and other qualified affiliates, of the official number of delegates to which they are entitled after January 15 and no later than thirty-five (35) business days prior to the convening of Delegate Assembly. The cutoff date for delegate entitlement at the Delegate Assembly shall be thirty-five (35) business days prior to the meeting date of any Delegate Assembly. The number of delegates to which a local or affiliate is entitled is described in Article III of the IEA Constitution and Chapter II, Section 2 of the IEA Bylaws. (01, 23)

Should a local affiliate become delinquent in its contracted dues transmittal schedule, penalties at the rate of 1% per month will begin to accrue on dues amounts that are 30 days in arrears and will continue until the delinquency is paid in full. Subsequent payments received by the IEA are applied first to the penalty balance, then to the amount in arrears, then to the current amount due.

Any local which has not transmitted at least 40% of its annual dues obligation to the IEA by ten (10) days prior to the meeting of any Delegate Assembly will be denied seating of its delegates without direct action of Delegate Assembly. (See IEA Bylaws Chapter II, Section 6, paragraph a. (1) and (2)). (21)

Delegates shall be elected by the eligible voting members (as defined in Bylaw III, 3) of the local association. Each local association may elect up to the full number of delegates to which it is entitled, and one alternate for each such delegate, which alternates may serve as delegates in the Delegate Assembly in the case of a delegate's absence. Delegates shall be elected for a term to not exceed three (3) years.

The members of the Board of Directors and IEA Region Presidents shall be ex officio delegates. (21)

2.2. Verification of Eligibility. Following notification by the IEA state office, and at least thirty-five (35) business days before Delegate Assembly, a local association shall forward to the IEA state office by mail, fax, or e-mail, a list of its duly elected delegates and alternates which shall serve as verification of eligibility as delegates and alternates. (01, 23)

Upon verification of eligibility, the IEA state office shall forward such materials as to allow the delegates to prepare for participation in the Delegate Assembly.

2.3. Vacancies. The affiliate to which delegates have been allocated shall be responsible for filling vacancies which may occur when a delegate does not fulfill the term for which elected. The filling of vacancies must comply with the requirements of the Constitution and Bylaws for the election of delegates.

Alternate delegates to fill possible vacancies should be elected at the same time delegates are elected. The local association shall file by mail, fax, or e-mail with the IEA state office no later than thirty-five (35) business days before the Delegate Assembly a list of duly elected alternate delegates which shall serve as verification of eligibility to serve as alternate delegates. (23)

An alternate delegate shall serve for the remainder of the term of the delegate in whose place the alternate delegate is serving. If a registered delegate leaves the Delegate Assembly for an emergency reason, the elected alternate delegate may be registered as a voting delegate during the absence of the originally registered delegate. An alternate delegate registered in accordance with this provision shall be credentialed to serve as a voting delegate only until the adjournment of the Delegate Assembly.
