Western Ohio Education Association is one of ten District
Associations that make up the Ohio Education Association. The
territory of WOEA is comprised of the following counties:
Auglaize, Darke, Greene, Mercer, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and
Shelby.
The Board of Directors consists of a President, Vice-President,
Secretary, Treasurer, the Immediate Past-President, one
representative from each of the seven WOEA Areas, the OEA Executive
Committee members representing the four OEA Electoral Units within
the WOEA District, any at-Large OEA Executive Committee member, any
NEA Director elected from WOEA, and a representative from each of
the following categories: School Support Personnel, At-Large,
Retired, Higher Education, and Students. It is the responsibility of
each WOEA area representative to carry local concerns to the
district and to keep local associations informed about district
actions.
The members of the Boad of Directors meet approximately ten times
a year to put into effect the policies and directions of the
Representative Assembly. The
Boad of Directors approves members to
chair five core function committees of the Association. The Officers and
Boad of Directors employ an Office
Manager who is responsible for the day to day operations of the
Association and assists the leadership and members in carrying out
their duties.
WOEA conducts one representative assemblies in the spring and a
Member's Forum in the fall. Locally-elected OEA and WOEA delegates serve as delegates to the WOEA
Representative Assembly.
Western OEA advances the cause of education and
teaching as a profession by providing workshops for the improvement
of instruction, leadership training, political action, and
membership promotion. WOEA makes funds available to local
associations for workshops and leadership development.
WOEA provides an organizational link between your
local association and the state and national associations.
WOEA provides timely information and member benefits through the
newsletter, Gavel to Gavel, and www.woea.org,
as well as social networks, Facebook and Twitter.
We invite your ideas and suggestions and hope this
site will benefit you, our members.
