​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.

National Education Association

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. 

Together We Can Make Things Happen
