Events and Trainings
CCA offers three conferences per year and two year-long training academies as well as conference academies, webinars, and regional trainings.

TAKE ACTION!!!
Pledge to protect our public schools and students from Trump and McMahon’s agenda to expand vouchers and eliminate the U.S. Department of Education.
Just like we did the first time Trump was in office, we will continue to do what we do best: organize and advocate. Because every student deserves the opportunity, resources, and support they need to succeed in their public schools. Our voices are strongest when we work together, and we will be heard at every level of government—from the school board to the Senate.
Thank you, Becky Pringle, President, NEA
FOR FACULTY AND STUDENTS
Our Advocacy

FOR MEMBERS
Your Rights
Know your Rights!!! A major benefit of unionism is the community of professionals who band together to ensure individual faculty rights are protected through the locally negotiated contracts. Additionally, your membership in CCA, CTA, and NEA opens doors to many more benefits. Explore your member benefits by clicking on the Member Benefits tab above.
FOR VOTERS
CCA offers the following resources to our members and supporters of public education. In today’s world of misinformation and hyper-partisanship, knowing that the information you are consuming is truthful and reliable is essential; the following resources can help you do that.
BUILD YOUR NETWORK
In addition to their Primary Contact Staff, chapters and members also have elected geographic and at-large CCA Board Directors as resources. Directors are important connections between chapters and the CCA Board, so maintaining open lines of communication is essential to the work we all do. The CCA directors can be reached by clicking below or on the About Us tab at the top of the page. Remember, you are not alone.
