WHY JOIN?
The Association provides members with training sessions in many aspects of education, human and civil rights, political action, communications, negotiations, classroom management, gender equity and other areas of concern to members. Many of the workshops can be used to earn recertification credits. Association workshops are consistently of high quality and are offered at no or low cost to members.
Through the Association, you can connect with other teachers and school employees from across the state and nation who are dealing with the same joys and frustrations as you.
EAA is your best source of accurate, timely information. The Association keeps on top of current laws, regulations and policies affecting education. Information is as always as close as a phone call away for any member. You also have access to the EAA, VEA and NEA Members Only web sites.
All Association members receive regular national, state and local publications with the latest educational developments. As a member, you receive discounts on all of the hundreds of resources available through the NEA Professional Library Catalog, the largest resource house in the world for educators.
The Association shares with the public and with key decision makers pertinent information about education from the viewpoints of teachers and school employees. It builds the image of public school teachers and school employees through advertising and public relations activities.
The Association's legal advice extends far beyond liability insurance. Any time you have a question about your employment rights or benefits, ask your UniServ directors. If you need legal assistance, EAA attorneys are the best in the state in employment-related and school law. And these services are all free to EAA members.
If you are sued, EAA/VEA/NEA liability insurance provides you with an attorney and $1 million in coverage for any judgment against you.
The Association is recognized as the single-most effective voice for teachers in Alexandria, Richmond and Washington, D.C.
Whether it's the State Board of Education, a legislative committee, or an education coalition, whenever decisions about teachers and students are being made, EAA is there representing your views.
Many members save through Association discounts on everything from computers to cell phones, dental insurance to auto insurance, exotic travel to auto rentals, financial products, and more! You also have access to some of the best interest rates available if you are thinking of buying a home or car. In some cases, a single use of the discount purchasing power of your EAA membership can save you the cost of your annual dues! The EAA and NEA Member Benefits programs are superior resources for quality service and personal care.
