OEA’s Center for Organizing and Leadership Development helps local associations organize around issues, recruit and retain members, and build strong foundations to support members on the local level. While joining OEA/NEA brings a wealth of service, benefits and discounts on products and services, most people join for local reasons. Who asks them to join and what activities are going on locally convince people to be part of the excitement.
OEA staff work closely with local associations, serving as valuable resources connecting members to OEA’s varied services.
