Association Membership

A member's local association is the most important because it serves you right where you work and live. CEA and NEA support your local, providing services and benefits to members on the state and national levels and helping local associations thrive. Members belong to all three levels – local, state, and national.

Belonging to our Association is an investment in your future, your career, and your profession. Your membership is rewarded by top quality, superb value, and excellent service. Association membership gives you benefits in four main areas:

  • Leadership in Public Education
  • Leadership in Our Profession
  • Leadership in Advocacy and Collective Bargaining

Leadership in Personal Economic Services

Your benefits include direct services for you; services for your local association and leaders; representation at the local, state, and national levels; and the opportunity to learn to help yourself and your co-workers in all aspects of your public education career.
