On Friday evening, June 27, during the 2025 Annual Convention in Baltimore, NELA hosted our 40th Anniversary Gala to celebrate 40 years of impact and advocacy, build our national community, and strengthen our ability to fight for workers—now and in the decades ahead. To mark this special occasion, we gathered to “Party Like It’s 1985!” in the way that only NELA could!
