The NEA, governed through an elected Representative Assembly, provides national research and bargaining support, legal support, political action and lobbying services, and a vast library of books, brochures, pamphlets, videos and other communications services on professional and educational issues. Each level sets its own dues and determines how best to serve its members. Collectively, they are the United Education Profession. Members also are represented internationally by the NEA through Education International, a worldwide coalition of education organizations. Every member has the opportunity to elect local officers and delegates to the UniServ, WEAC and NEA Representative Assemblies.
Members also vote on political action candidate recommendations.
Associations always need willing workers. If you want more involvement, contact your local president and volunteer in your area of interest.
