Conferences / Caucuses |

Conferences and Caucuses are organized and held for the membership to attend, to make the decisions that the Executive Board, Executive Council, Chairpersons, and Functional Managers can't make on their own. Members provide direction to the leadership how to run the Association. The Association belongs to the members, and the members must make certain decisions based on the Bylaws.

State WNGEA Conferences. The annual WNGEA State Educational Conference, held in the Spring, is always a unique experience with many rewards to be found. While the main purpose of the conference is to receive the annual reports of the various committees and functions, we discuss the future direction of the association and the programs that are established, and suggested new programs that need to be discussed and approved. The WNGEA state conference is built around education and fun. The host unit usually selects a hotel and meeting place that offers room to setup icebreakers, hospitality rooms, and a banquet for everyone to enjoy before, during and after the meetings. At the banquet, awards are presented to our special members and guests. Also is a keynote speaker that has a special message for our association. The families of the WNGEA members have many options of dining and shopping and family fun to enjoy all during the weekend. As a member of the WNGEA that has not attended a WNGEA State Educational Conference, you are missing a great opportunity that many have enjoyed. As soon as you see the next years conference registration form in the Bucky’s Bulleting, take the initiative and get yourself and your spouse registered. Below is the list of past successful conferences:

Area Five Caucus The Area Caucus is the warm up meeting to the EANGUS National Conference. It is only for the states that belong to Area Five. The Caucus is held in May, on Armed Forces Day weekend (Friday and Saturday), in a centralized city in the Area that is within a days drive for all states. The three elected Directors run the Caucus, and chaired by the Area Chairperson. The other two directors are there to handle other duties such as Treasurer, and Membership. Each Area Director is assigned a responsibility or a committee chair at the EANGUS level as a member of the EANGUS Executive Council. |

National EANGUS Conferences The EANGUS Annual conference is truly an educational experience for any and all members of the National Guard and their families. Each year in the late Summer the national conference is held in a different city, and is hosted by the respective state chapter. The conference brings together delegates and representatives from all 50 states and US territories. The purpose of the conference is to set the goals and policies for the upcoming year, elect new leadership, and receive the reports for the past year. This is an information sharing conference where members are updated by the top level military, congressional, department, and cabinet leaders. The conference also allows for individual members that have a state association responsibility to network with counterparts from other states to solve problems they are having back home; what is being done in states that seem to be doing great, etc., and bring those ideas back home to implement into their state programs.
