  • Who We Are

​The purpose of the CEA is to:
  • Promote a strong and independent association to encourage a higher standard of skill among our members and to improve the economic status of our members,
  • Negotiate and bargain to enable association members to speak with a common voice on matters pertaining to the various skill areas our members represent,
  • Present their individual and collective interests before the Board of Education and other governing authorities, and
  • Hold property and funds for the attainment of these purposes.

YOU are the UNION!

Our union values are solidarity, democracy, social justice, advocacy, compromise, equity, and dignity of work.
​
Our association relies on volunteers to provide programs & services for all and to accomplish its goals for public education. There are many areas that we can use volunteers. Interested? Contact the office today at matsucea@mtaonline.net or (907) 373-0800.

With 3.2 million members, the National Education Association is the largest employee organization in the country. And NEA's nearly half-million ESP members make us the largest organization of school support employees in the world. This numerical strength translates into advocacy and service -- for improved pay and working conditions, rights on the job, improved education for the students we serve, and great deals on products and services our members need.
