The start of a new school year comes with a renewed hope for a fresh start. The MEA is feeling refreshed as well and is rolling out its new look with new resources and revamped goals that truly reflect the work we do and the members we represent.
The MEA has always stood for great public schools for every Maine student, but we are so much more. We are a diverse group of professional educators, standing together to ensure that our voice, values, and priorities are heard and respected. MEA advocates for better pay, benefits, and working conditions for members. We stand up for, support, and empower members in and out of the classroom. And MEA works to ensure equity, prevent discrimination and prejudice, and advance great public schools for all educators and students across the state.
NEW Logo
In order to stay viable, the Union needed to adjust, as we all have learned over the last year, to help more early career educators understand the importance of being Union members. With that adjustment comes a new, refreshed look!
MEA encourages you to check out the new logo and the story behind the logo and share MEA’s story with non-members.
NEW MEA App
The MEA is continuing to try and meet your needs and is also launching a new way for you to access information from the Union. You can now find MEA information at your fingertips with our new app!
The app will give you up-to-date information from your Union and allow you to easily contact us when you need support. Make sure you enable push notifications, so you don’t miss a thing!
NEW Live Chat Feature
To make it even easier to reach someone at MEA, we’ve launched a new Live Chat on our website. The chat feature will connect you directly to an MEA staff member who can help answer questions immediately. The chat feature is available during office hours, Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm. Chat with us today!
NEW Members-Only Website
Also new this school year, a new members-only section of the MEA website. MEA offers a lot of valuable information for its members and wants you to have access to this in an easy way. You will now be able to access key pieces of information, think collective bargaining guidance, salary data, legal guidance and more, online with your Individual ID. Log in at maineea.org to unlock your members-only information. You can learn how to find your Individual ID here: https://maineea.org/how-to-find-your-individual-id/
