What Members Get

The Missouri NEA is an advocate for public schools, public school students, and public school employees. Through various legal programs, MNEA protects the employment rights of our members. MNEA promotes and helps build support for public education, and offers a full program of professional development opportunities and resources for Missouri educators.

MNEA's legislative program provides an effective presence in Jefferson City and Washington, D.C., as policies affecting children and public education are debated. Through MNEA's political program, we support candidates for office who will vote for children and public education once elected.

MNEA offers a full menu of money-saving programs for members—from auto and homeowners insurance to money management programs and discounts on travel, restaurants, theme park and sports tickets, and shopping.

Member Help: Contact MNEA

Contact your UniServ director at the first hint of trouble. Many situations can be resolved informally in the early stages with an experienced advocate by your side. Missouri NEA's field staff are the front-line defense team for MNEA union members. As full-time, trained professionals, UniServ directors are available year-round to assist individual members and local associations with a wide range of problems. There is no charge to members for UniServ assistance. It is another important benefit of your union membership.
