Meet NJEA staff, leaders, and active members working with you and for you
Take a casual, but masked and socially distant, stroll down Main Street NJEA and meet with staff from every division of NJEA, members from many NJEA Committees, and visit the Member Showcase to talk about Hipp Grants and meet member-authors.
Member Showcase – Great Ideas Forum
Members who have received grants from the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education will showcase their projects. You may be inspired to get your own Hipp Grant. Visit njea.org/hipp to learn more about the grant program.
Member Showcase – Authors’ Alley
Visit NJEA members who are published authors. They may very well inspire you to join them and take the plunge into the publishing world.
Professional Organizations
Many professional organizations are affiliated with NJEA and have a strong presence at the NJEA Convention. About one-fourth of the workshops at the convention are sponsored by professional organizations.
Workshop listings note these sponsors. The October edition of the NJEA Review includes a full listing and contact information for these groups.
