FR Information 

Welcome to Week Two,

 

Thank you for taking the time to come get your membership materials.  One correction:  We apologize for the inconvenience but the Raising Canes certificates will be sent out separately.  We have not received them yet.   

 

As we noted in FR Training and also in LEA membership we are focusing on organizing this year. We have established two new links on the LEA website to help with this focus. We will be providing timely information on the new appraisal system and also now have a page where all things FR will be posted. Please check these links to help keep us all organized this year.  

Organization is also about organizing and increasing membership. LEA has already signed up 103 new members. That is awesome!! We need to continue to add membership this year. We had over 70 members retire. We had about 30 drops during the drop window. We do not have exact numbers of members who have left the district who are on leave of absence. Therefore we need to make up the differences as well as increase membership.  

 

At FR Training we asked each building to think of a plan to increase membership, communicate with members, etc., whatever your building can do to help get the message out. Please take a couple of minutes to tell us what goal you have for your building.

LEA MEMBERSHIP ENROLLMENT-----Earn Incentives

New membership enrollment must be a priority of the Association this year. We cannot afford our membership to decline, especially given all of the challenges that LEA/NSEA/NEA are currently dealing with and that loom on the horizon. This is a negotiations year, it is especially important that LEA go to the table with a solid voice and large percentage of members among the educators we will be representing. It is within this current and expected on-going environment that we ask for your concerted effort and challenge you to please do all you can to get current non-members to join.
