Keynote Speaker
NEA Secretary-Treasurer Noel Candelaria
Noel Candelaria, a special education teacher and former teacher’s aide from El Paso, Texas, is the Secretary-Treasurer of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest professional organization. In this role, his primary responsibility is managing and maintaining the Association’s multimillion-dollar budget.
Noel Candelaria is the Immediate Past President of the Texas State Teachers Association (TSTA), the state affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA). Prior to his election as TSTA President, Noel served as TSTA Vice President after a distinguished tenure as President of the Ysleta Teachers Association (YTA) in El Paso, Texas, where he worked as a Teacher’s Aide and Special Education Teacher in the Ysleta Independent School District (YISD).
Noel was recently appointed by President Biden to serve as a member on the President’s Advisory Commission on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Hispanics. In this role, Noel is tasked with providing advice to the President on matters pertaining to educational equity and economic opportunity for the Hispanic and Latino community.
Noel and his wife Patty, who is a National Board-Certified teacher, are tireless advocates committed to the success of every student. Throughout his career, Noel has emphasized the importance of relationships built on trust. He believes our public schools must provide every student the best opportunity to fulfill their individual potential.
As a son of hard-working immigrants, the importance of education and the opportunities that a quality public education can provide were core values instilled in him at a very early age. That upbringing helped to shape Noel’s passion to serve all students and reimagine a more just and equitable education system that benefits all students.
