Union Elections

NCAE practices real union democracy by ensuring that decisions are made by educators. Members elect their own leaders at the national, state, and local levels, set priorities through representative assemblies, and shape campaigns based on the needs of their schools and communities. Every educator — bus driver, counselor, teacher, TA, custodian, nurse — has a voice and a vote. NCAE is strongest when members lead the work, make the calls, and chart the path forward together.

A leading voice for educational excellence

The North Carolina Association of Educators (NCAE) is our leading voice for educational excellence, for children and their families, and for the public schools they count on. As the public school employees union and the largest association of professional educators in North Carolina, our membership extends to all 100 counties and includes teachers, non-classified school staff, administrators, students, retirees, and community allies. NCAE believes that every child has a right to a high-quality education, an excellent teacher, and a well-funded school.
