Introducing the NAESPA Local Education Agency (LEA) Affiliate Program!

Are you passionate about improving the academic achievement of disadvantaged students? Are you a local educational agency level (LEA) administrator of ESEA programs? If so, we have exciting news for you! The National Association of ESEA State Program Administrators (NAESPA) is thrilled to announce the launch of our brand-new LEA Affiliate Program, opening the doors to professionals like you for the first time!

At NAESPA, our mission is clear: "Building the capacity of education professionals to provide all children served by ESEA programs with a high-quality education." We've remained committed to this mission, and have evolved our support beyond just Title I, Part A – Basic Grants to LEAs to include all ESEA title programs that align with NAESPA.

Available now, the NAESPA LEA Affiliate program will revolutionize your professional growth, offering you incredible benefits and opportunities as follows:

Eligibility: If you're an LEA administrator responsible for overseeing federal programs that impact disadvantaged children, you're eligible for enrollment in this non-voting LEA affiliate program. Using the ESEA definition of LEA, administrators of ESEA programs in public school districts, charter schools, and Tribal schools are eligible.

In early June, we hosted a special launch event with Suzy Pepper Rollins to share more about LEA affiliate opportunities.

Affiliate Fee: For just $199, you can unlock a world of benefits and professional growth opportunities. Plus, don't miss the chance to bundle your program enrollment with conference registration for the 2025 National ESEA Conference in Austin, Texas (Feb 19-21, 2025) for an even more immersive experience!

Affiliate Benefits:

• Exclusive invitations to special meetings and webinars, including follow-up sessions from the National ESEA Conference.
• Free access to webinars.
• Participation in the LEA Affiliate Committee for networking and collaboration, as well as meetings focused on special topics such as managing ESEA programs in small districts, best practices, etc.
• Opportunities to participate in relevant committees, including the Effective Programs and Conference Planning Committees to share your voice in the work of the association.
• Collaborative space through our virtual conference platform for LEA conference attendees, fostering connections beyond the conference.
• Complimentary subscription to VOD 2025 video programming (valued at $199), contingent upon attending the 2025 National ESEA conference. If LEA Affiliates attended the 2024 National ESEA Conference, access to VOD 2024 will be granted effective immediately.

Join us in shaping the future of education and empowering disadvantaged children. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of students across the nation.
