All your Association resources. All in one place. |

The new www.veanea.org is your one-stop shop for Association news and other resources to help you in your career. From lesson-plan links and content geared for new teachers to dedicated sections for Education Support Professionals and Student members, www.veanea.org deserves a spot among your "Favorites." In this month's e-source, we spotlight some of the great resources you'll find in the site, including the exclusive new Members-Only content.
You'll find much of the great information on the new main (or "splash") page in the areas tagged "Top Features" (left-side column) and "VEA News" (middle column). As we launch, for example, we're carrying helpful tips for new teachers, an interview with new VEA President Kitty Boitnott, a news story on the recent march by the Culpeper County Education Association, and much more. The splash page also has quick links to upcoming events and resources to find a job, among other features.
