Who Qualifies for Membership?

Our Constitution states that “An active member shall be a woman who is or has been employed as a professional educator at the time of her election”. While a great many of our members are educators working at or retired from traditional institutions of learning, our Society is open to and embraces other types of professional educators.

Consider the following list of potential educators who your chapter could invite for membership:

• Teacher’s aides
• School nurses
• Piano instructors
• Community librarians
• Children’s ministers or paid Sunday School teachers
• Weight Watcher leaders
• Nurses who teach classes at the hospital
• Yoga Instructors
• Dance teachers
• Childcare workers
• Small business owners who teach cooking classes

Chapters inviting different type of professional educators  to membership benefit greatly. These educators can present interesting programs for chapters and breakout sessions for conventions and conferences.  The possibilities are endless.
