Two Membership Application Options
- AEA runs the membership form for monthly electronic funds transfer (bank draft)
- Or register online for annual credit card member invoicing with the NEA (or download the PDF)
At this time, dues are annual when paid to NEA by credit card or monthly to AEA by bank draft. For your privacy, we do not use payroll deduction. The membership form is a financial agreement, so read carefully. AEA, NEA and Local 965 are unified; membership is required in all organizations.
Membership forms for Retired and Aspiring Educator categories are submitted on separate forms. Email the AEA office.
