Join Us
When you join the Association (local, state, and national), you join forces with over 34,000 of your colleagues here in Iowa and 3.2 million educators nationwide. That strong membership base give us the strength, power, and resources to accomplish more together than any individual or small group can do alone. Here are our various membership categories:
Early Enrollment Membership Incentive Plan
Effective immediately, the NEA and ISEA are offering the Early Enrollment Membership Incentive Plan where a first-time, active employee can join now and pay nothing until September 1, 2011. Meanwhile, new members have access to the NEA's comprehensive Educators' Employment Liability Program as well as select NEA Member Benefits and ISEA discount programs. Contact your local membership chair or your UniServ unit office for more information or to enroll.
Professional Membership
Professional members include classroom teachers, counselors, librarians, nurses, and other professionals employed by K-12 school districts, area education agencies, community colleges, and state universities.
Education Support Professional
Educational Support membership is available for currently employed school secretaries, classroom aides, custodians, food service, maintenance, and transportation workers.
Students
Our Student members are education majors attending Iowa colleges and universities.
Annual and Lifetime Retired
Annual and Lifetime Retired memberships are offered to retired individuals who were formerly eligible for professional or educational support membership.
Pre-Retired (I AM) Membership
Under the Inclusive Association Membership ("I AM") program, current ISEA members pay $213 each year for two years and $212 the third year - a total of $638 to become "prepaid subscribers" to an NEA/ISEA Pre-retired Lifetime Retired membership.
