More than 350 delegates attended HGEA's 19th Biennial General Assembly at the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa in Kona May 14-17, 2008. 

This year's theme is "Transition - Inspiring Our Leaders for a New HGEA."

As the highest governing body of the union, the General Assembly convenes every two years. During the three-day proceedings, delegates consider amendments to the HGEA Charter & Bylaws, establish union policies and set forth direction for the organization.

All resolutions and amendments approved at the General Assembly will be on the website and published in the next issue of The Public Employee.
