Elections for IPACE and IEA Executive Committee

I am extremely proud to announce that Gina Lozano and myself have been re-elected to the IEA Executive Committee. I am so proud to be in an organization who values education support professionals and their contributions to the betterment of public education and our members.

rESPect Campaign Advocating for Members – Join Today!

Yesterday, a fabulous group of IEA members and IEA staff met virtually to discuss, organize, advocate, and grow rESPect for education support professionals throughout Illinois.

Far to many education support professionals barely make minimum wage while they provide some of the most important work in our schools and universities. We are some of the first people to greet students when they arrive, who give students the academic support they need to become successful scholars, who carefully assist with their health, safety, and nutritional needs, and are the last people who see students safely home at the end of the day. The value of our work is priceless.
