What Is NCUEA?
NCUEA: The Voice of Locals is an independent body made up of local affiliates of the NEA dedicated to strengthening member advocacy and moving the NEA to be more responsive to member needs.
NCUEA focuses on:
- Speaking with a common voice on all matters affecting local education associations
- Improving the structure, processes, and workings of NEA to ensure the full and effective participation of all local association members
- Developing programs for NEA that will solve problems faced by local educators
- Identifying and supporting candidates for NEA offices who will work to implement NCUEA-adopted programs and positions
- Creating a national network where local association leaders can learn from and support one another
Additionally, NCUEA creates a space to advance issues critical to local educators, their students, and their communities. This includes supporting expanding community schools and determining the future of assessments, both of which are issues that NCUEA member locals are deeply invested in.
Who is eligible to join NCUEA?
Any local union or Uniserv Council/Region affiliated with the NEA can join NCUEA. There is no requirement that locals have a certain number of members to join NCUEA. All NCUEA members must be equal opportunity employers. NCUEA membership includes higher education chapters and Education Support Professional (ESP) locals.
