HELP US RECRUIT NEW MEMBERS |
|
|
|
We need your help recruiting new members. Do you know that there are approximately 3,000 art teachers in Pennsylvania and only HALF of them are PAEA members?
If you work with a colleague who is not a member:
--show them our newsletter and all the exciting things that are happening throughout the state
--show them the list of perks for being a member (go to the NAEA website to print out the list)
--bring them to the next region event to meet other members and their region representatives
--direct them to the NAEA/PAEA websites to learn more about both associations
As we have done in the past, if you are a current member and you recruit a new member, we will give you HALF OFF the cost of the next event you choose to attend.
