Are you an ethnic minority member of CTA? Are you interested in broadening your knowledge of the association and exploring a possible role in leadership? CTA’s Ethnic Minority Early Identification and Development Program (EMEID) can help you. EMEID promotes and develops ethnic minority leadership in the organization, locally and statewide. It builds on existing CTA/NEA programs, trainings, conferences and events, and incorporates coaching and interaction with leadership from local chapters, CTA/NEA, as well as CTA Board members and staff. Members selected to participate in EMEID 2018-19 begin the program in June and finish 15 months later. They must commit to attending the Emerging Leaders strand at CTA’s Summer Institute, at UCLA July 29-Aug. 2, 2018. Apply here.
