NEA Publications for members

Every MNEA member automatically receives the NEA Today eight times a year--September to May. This colorful award-winning publication contains news and features on education issues and NEA members from around the country.

Local association presidents and building representatives who are identified as such in the NEA membership system also receive a monthly newsletter from NEA called NEA Now. This publication includes brief items of interest to association leaders, and often includes a poster as well.

NEA also provides special publications for education support personnel members, higher education members, student members and retired members. Visit NEA.org or learn more.
 

Missouri NEA local newsletter showcase

MNEA recognizes the value of internal and external communication activities initiated by local associations. A newsletter is an excellent means of bringing the Association's message to members and the public. An effective newsletter speaks to the clear, established goals of the local association. This showcase rewards excellent examples of newsletters from across the state.

In addition to the recognition given to newsletters entries at MNEA Summer Academy, every local entering the competition is eligible for a drawing for a $100 cash prize.
