About Vermont-NEA

The Vermont-National Education Association is a voluntary membership organization of 11,500 Vermont teachers and education support professionals. We welcome everyone who cares about education to our website. Here we offer fresh, constantly updated information to support the work of educators, encourage the contribution of parents, and nurture the learning of children and young adults.

Vermont-NEA was founded in 1850 as the Vermont Teachers' Association. Vermont-NEA now is a state-level affiliate of the National Education Association, the largest professional association in the United States, with 3.2 million members.

Educators in communities throughout Vermont are organized as local affiliates of Vermont-NEA. Educators also join subject area affiliates of Vermont-NEA, organizations dedicated to particular professional specialties.

Vermont-NEA Resolutions and the Association's Purpose and Priorities are determined democratically through an annual Representative Assembly. Vermont-NEA policy is directed by officers and board members selected in statewide elections. Vermont-NEA's program is implemented by volunteer committees of Association members and a full time staff.
