SUMMARY:123…Eyes on Me Workshop
DESCRIPTION:How to tell you story to get legislators on your side \nConnecticut educators are invited to a hands on workshop to learn how to advocate for yourself\, your students\, and your profession by sharing your unique and personal stories about what’s really happening in the classroom.   \nLegislators want to hear from educators about the challenges in our schools.

SUMMARY:Cancel Your Student Loan Debt Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Cancel Your Student Loan Debt: Waivers\, credits\, and forgiveness for educators \nCEA Member Benefits invites you to a free webinar on what is likely the last opportunity you’ll have to receive retroactive credit for federal student loan payments that may have been made on eligible loans or through ineligible plans.  \nSimilar to last year’s waiver opportunity\, this one-time payment adjustment may allow some CEA members to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness right now\, but at the very least it can help everyone else move closer to meeting the 120-payment PSLF requirement.

SUMMARY:Cancel Your Student Loan Debt: Waivers\, credits\, and forgiveness for educators
DESCRIPTION:CEA Member Benefits invites you to a free webinar on what is likely the last opportunity you’ll have to receive retroactive credit for federal student loan payments that may have been made on eligible loans or through ineligible plans.  \nSimilar to last year’s waiver opportunity\, this one-time payment adjustment may allow some CEA members to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness right now\, but at the very least it can help everyone else move closer to meeting the 120-payment PSLF requirement.
