Cast your vote for the 2026-27 state officers, adopt the 2026-27 ATPE Legislative Program that will guide our advocacy work during the next legislative session, and debate resolutions that shape the future of your professional association. This is where your membership matters most.

Sessions support your wellness and help refresh your toolkit while allowing you to earn up to seven hours of continuing professional education (CPE) credit. You’ll also have meaningful opportunities to connect and network with public education employees from across the state.

Advocacy in Action
