Divisions and Regions
Connect with educators sharing your professional focus and location! Our national organization offers support, recognition, resources, and board representation for NAEA’s seven job-alike Divisions and four geographic Regions.
Divisions
The NAEA governance and membership structure include seven Divisions that represent professional context.
Each Division is represented by a National Division Director, National Division Director-Elect, and Regional Representatives. The elected Director for each Division works with the membership at large to bring the voices of members to the forefront in advancing NAEA’s mission and vision.
