Retired Educators

Discover how you can continue making a difference.

As a retired educator, you may be out of the classroom — but you still have so much to teach Idaho Education Association members. Our retired members play a crucial role providing context, enthusiasm and support to the entire IEA. Continue a lifetime of good work by getting involved today.

Support

Your union still needs you. Retired members provide crucial support during collective bargaining, raise thousands of dollars for IEA’s charitable and political causes, and actively participate in annual events such as Delegate Assembly.

Advocate

Raise your voice for Idaho educators and school children! As a retired member, your experience is an invaluable asset, whether you’re advocating for safer classrooms or to improve retirement and health benefits.

Maintain

You worked hard for your union benefits. Don’t let them disappear now! As a retired member, you’ll still enjoy the same access to benefits such as exclusive discounts on travel and special rates on insurance, phone and internet service, and so much more.

Membership that works for life.

Did you know you don’t have to wait until retirement to become a retired member? Sign up for a pre-retired lifetime membership while you’re still in the classroom and enjoy a seamless transition while maintaining your benefits. If you’re not ready yet, you can choose between an annual membership or wait until retirement to begin a lifetime membership.
