Hello, fellow faculty,
I just wanted to take a little bit of time before we start the spring semester to remind you just how awesome our faculty association is. As part of our IVC faculty association, you are part of three different organizations, the National Educators Association (NEA), the California Teacher’s Association (CTA), and the Community College Association (CCA). All of these unions come with their own great benefits. Hopefully, you already know about the CTA Member Benefits and are taking advantage of some of them; my personal favorite is the Enterprise car rental rate! Another benefit is access to conferences and continued learning. CTA and CCA both offer scholarships and grants to help you attend those conferences, too!
If you haven’t checked out your union benefits yet, definitely do it, and if you are interested in conferences or learning opportunities like this awesome one below, go ahead and sign up. You are part of a statewide and even national organization. Take advantage. If you’re feeling generous, let me know your favorite CTA member benefit or union benefit and I can put a list together for all of us. We can learn from each other and stay union strong.
