- There are many reasons to become a member of REA.  Although most people consider the protections and rights guaranteed in our Collective Bargaining Agreement, few realize the important business of our Association that happens at the region, state, and national levels.  For instance, because you belong to REA, PSEA, and NEA, you are entitled to the following exclusive benefits:

  • Two FREE 30-minute phone calls to a PSEA-approved lawyer regarding non-work issues.
  • Up to $1 MILLION liability coverage if legal charges are ever brought up against you.
  • Thousands of dollars in savings on just about anything through PSEA Member Benefits.

- Visit www.psea.org and click on the MEMBER BENEFITS BUTTON on the right to discover the savings that have been secured for all 190,000 members of PSEA to enjoy.  The mission of the PSEA Member Benefits Program is to "increase the value of membership by helping members achieve their financial goals... through research, education, advocacy and quality control... to achieve the very best value for members on the products and services they want and need."
