History

FEN was organized in 1974 to provide its members with a vehicle through which to effectively communicate with each other and improve their collective bargaining and labor relations skills, knowledge and performance. FEN activities and services have greatly expanded since 1974, and the organization’s contributions now are an essential component of local school district operations.
