Look Who’s Running
Five years ago, Manchester statistics teacher and union leader Kate Dias decided to put her skills to work for colleagues statewide when she first ran for CEA president. Today, she takes those same strengths into her campaign to lead the National Education Association. Read about her goals for her next role.
Have We Got a Story for You
Many of us joined our union without much thought to what membership means and how it can (literally) save our paycheck, our pension, and our profession. Hear from educators who’ve experienced firsthand the power and protection of their union, and share their stories, and your own, on your social channels.
On the Green for a Good Cause
It wouldn’t be summer without our annual Hands Across the Green golf tournament, which shattered attendance records and raised more than $30k for children across Connecticut. This year included a fresh twist, with a best-dressed contest that brought out some of the punchiest polos and splashiest shorts and skorts you’ve seen.
Your Card, Your Passport to Everything
From beach to ballfield and everywhere in between, your CEA membership ID is your pass to great savings, connections with colleagues, top-notch professional development, the support and protection of your union, and so much more. Check your Apple or Google wallet for your updated ID and all the perks that go with it!
