About Membership
When you join the Association (local, state, and national), you join forces with more than 6,300 of your colleagues here in Wyoming 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. Below are our various membership categories. For complete details and an enrollment form, contact your UniServ office or Linda Bottom at WEA via e-mail at lbottom@nea.org or phone 800.442.2395 x 102
