Throughout the year, MEA offers a variety of conferences to allow members to attend high-quality training while networking with peers across the state and sharing ideas about both their profession and their union.
The MEA Higher Education Conference is one of the great benefits that MEA provides for its higher education members – both faculty and support staff. The sessions for the conference are developed by the MAHE Board and include sessions designed for new leaders as well as on the topics of Advocacy, Unionism and Instruction. There is something for everyone.
