Dear Ms. Cutler:
On behalf of the members and board of directors of the National Indian Education Association
(NIEA), I would like to invite you to speak at our 29th annual convention, which will be held
October 11-14, 1998 in Nashville, Tennesse. NIEA is the oldest and largest national
organization representing over 2,500 American Indian and Alaska Native educators, school
administrators, and students from elementary and secondary tribal and public schools as well as
tribal and mainstream post-secondary institutions across the country.
Today, educators are being challenged as perhaps never before to find effective ways of
preparing American students for the future and to help them overcome tremendous obstacles
such abuse, neglect, crime, learning disabilities, poverty, racism, joblessness, and lack of hope.
Many of the American Indian and Alaska Native students we represent faces such obstacles
daily. Our member educators, school administrators, and parents also deal with the same
issues of improving the quality of life and education in their communities as do their
counterparts in mainstream America.
We would consider it a great honor if you could address our convention attendees to bring them a
message of hope and encouragement that their work as teachers, principals, parents, service
providers, counselors, and students is important not only to the future of their tribes and
communities, but to all of America.
Ms. Lorraine P. Edmo, NIEA's executive director, may be contacted at (703) 838-2870 for
questions and to RSVP. We have taken the liberty of enclosing information about NIEA and the
convention for your perusal.
Thank you for your kind consideration of our invitation.
Sincerely,
