Rebecca Cluts
President, Student-AEA |
Hello!
For those of you who don't know me, I am Rebecca Cluts. I am the State Student Arkansas Education Association (S-AEA) president and the president of my local association chapter at Henderson State University, where I am a senior Early Childhood Education major. I welcome you and thank you for becoming a part of this great organization. As a member of S-AEA, you are also the part of the National Education Association (NEA) and the Arkansas Education Association (AEA).
I have exciting plans for our student chapter here in Arkansas. One of my goals is to get enough new members so that we can take at least one more Arkansas student to the NEA Representative Assembly in Chicago in the summer. Taking part in Read Across America is important to me also! I encourage every chapter to go and read in schools or daycares during this week in March. It's great!
I want us to be able to say we increased our membership. Also I want to hold more conferences locally and get more people involved in our conferences. Conferences are a way to gain knowledge and connections, share ideas, and get resources.
As a member of S-AEA you have access to many benefits, such as the discounts you can get through NEA's Click & Save program. You can get discounts on everything from pet supplies to a cruise for you and your family, and you can even purchase gift cards at a discount. S-AEA members are also covered by NEA liability insurance while interning or on other on-site assignments at a school.
We have an S-AEA, AEA, and a student NEA page on Facebook. Please join these pages, and I encourage you to take pictures of your S-AEA organization and post them. Please e-mail me if you have any questions or ideas. If I cannot answer the question, I will find someone who can.
My e-mail is RC158895@reddies.hsu.edu OR rcluts@yahoo.com. Vice President Nikita Ellis’ e-mail address is princessnde16@yahoo.com and Secretary Samantha Blackwood’s e-mail address is blackwood5@windstream.net. You can also contact the AEA Student Program Director Richard Hutchinson (ar-rhutchinson@nea.org) or Brenda Walton (ar-bwalton@nea.org) for membership information.
Please join S-AEA!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Cluts
