Close to retirement?
If you are not retired, but at least 45 years old, you are eligible to join as a Pre-Retired Life member. This is the best, easiest and most affordable way to begin your membership as a retired educator. Learn more about our Pre-Retired membership.
Remember, if you have any NEA member benefits, you must maintain a membership when you retire.
Questions about joining?
You can contact our CEA Membership team to determine your eligibility and for any other questions you have.
We hope you will join the thousands of Colorado educators who work together through our local, state and national association to help every student thrive.
