CTA/NEA Member Benefits

Go to www.ctamemberbenefits.org/ for the full breath of benefits available to CTA members. 
For NEA member benefits, visit www.neamb.com

Group Legal Services

As a CTA member you are eligible to participate in the CTA Group Legal Services Program (GLSP). The GLSP provides high quality employment related legal services to you as a CTA member, assuring that your contractual, statutory, and constitutional rights are protected. You have the right to be fairly represented by your local association in matters arising under the collective bargaining contract with your employer. 

CTA Disaster Relief Fund

​The CTA Disaster Relief Fund is a separate, special fund for members of CTA through voluntary contributions from CTA members, and through CTA fundraising drives throughout the year. The fund, administered by the CTA Member Benefits Department, is endowed to provide financial assistance to CTA members who have experienced significant losses due to natural or other disasters in California.

Tips, Tricks and Guidance for New Educators

CTA and NEA are dedicated to helping educators at every stage of their career. The SCHOOL ME podcast series is made specifically with new and early educators in mind. We know those first few years can be extremely challenging, so we're sitting down with accomplished educators to discuss their unique techniques and best practices, and to get their invaluable advice in the form of blogs, podcast, and tip videos.

​NEA Travel and Discounts

Dear CTA Members,
Greetings! Spring is upon us and, hopefully, we all can look forward to better weather, some R&R, and holiday celebrations with family and friends!
But first things first! Every member should do these three things immediately:
  1. Visit www.neamb.com/connect: This is the gateway to all your Association benefits.
  2. Click the BLUE “Register Now” link on the page so you’ll be recognized to receive special discounts and important benefits information. (If you’ve already registered, proceed to Step 3.)
  3. Name your beneficiary for your no-cost, Complimentary Life Insurance: Click the “Register Your Beneficiary” button.
After the winter, and staying indoors, you are probably ready to get outside and breathe the fresh air and soak up those sunrays. You and your members might start putting your Spring Break 2023 plans in place, and NEA Member Benefits is here to help.

​Visit www.neamb.com/connect on your cell phones and scroll down to the 5th box, “Get $500 NEA Travel Dollars.” You will need to register and/or sign on our website using a non-school e-mail address, and then you will then be able to access the NEA Travel Program and discounts on car rentals, hotels, cruises, and guided tours as well as great information on how to stretch your travel budget. In addition, check out the NEA Discount Tickets Program if you’re planning on visiting Disneyland, or attending a sporting event or show.

​NEA Member Benefits recognizes that members have endured unprecedented challenges and pressures over the past two years due to the pandemic and adverse social events. We’ve heard from members that they are looking for resources and solutions when it comes to mental health issues. We want to remind you that there is an excellent support tool available to help members cope with stress and anxiety: the NEA Mental Health Program App. Many free resources are provided by this tool, as well as options for affordable group and individual counseling. NEA MB is excited to announce that the NEA Members Insurance Trust will pay for the first year of premium Sanvello membership and you can sign-up by clicking here.

Finally, Spring, known as the growing season is a time when we can focus on continuing to grow our community by sharing the benefits of NEA membership with potential members. Whether it's access to exclusive member discounts, professional development opportunities, or advocacy efforts on behalf of educators, there are many reasons why someone might consider becoming an NEA member. By sharing these benefits with others, we can help them make an informed decision about joining our community. Ask at least one colleague to join the local association today!
 
Visit www.neamb.com/connect to explore all the NEA Member Benefits available to you.
 
If you have any questions, please let me know.
 
Many thanks,
Sean
