To promote educational excellence, the Alabama Education Association serves as an advocate for its members and leads the advancement of equitable and quality public education in Alabama.
Association Representatives
The Association Representative (AR) is the vital link in the education profession. Ideally, the AR is elected at the building/work site level by members that he/she will represent at governance meetings of the association.
In some locals, the AR is not a part of the governance structure but serves primarily as a communicator between the work site members and the association’s leadership.
The AR is:
• a communicator between the work site members and the association governance bodies;
• a listener and a sounding board for the association;
• a motivator who champions work site concerns;
• a siren sounding the call for member action;
• a pied piper unifying members around the association flag;
• an itch - raising questions - stirring members - sometimes disturbing them, but always keeping them awake;
• most of all, a friend who remembers that whatever is important to a member is also important to the association representative
