Member Benefits
If you were to take advantage of the member benefits that come with your affiliation with Oklahoma Education Association, your savings could easily pay for your membership -- and then some!
Aside from the personal will preparation and the My Deals apps that we've previously discussed, did you know you can buy a car through NEA? NEAmb.com (Auto Buying Program) offers this benefit and more! The average savings purchasing a car through this program is in the thousands! Check out the website to see what other benefits you're entitled to. (Pet insurance? It's there!)
OEA has instituted a Save With Dave program on the first Monday of each month. Save with Dave will feature a few member benefits each month for 10-20 minutes. Join Save with Dave at 4:30PM on the first Monday of the month with the Zoom link. This is a recurring meeting link. You can save this link to your calendar or find it on the OEA calendar.
Check out this Save with Dave video where David Glenn of NEA Member Benefits introduces the new Save with Dave series and discusses the NEA Member Benefit Discount Marketplace, Discount Tickets, and Complimentary Life Insurance.

What Cool Thing Are You Doing?
Bethany Shaw, MMS STEM teacher, is having her tech students create their own phone apps then present them to a panel of teachers, Shark Tank style. What a cool way to meet students where they are and hook them into their learning! Additionally, Bethany states, "Outside of class I am coaching robotics teams, which will compete in our first competition of the school year this Saturday. I am also advising TSA members on their competition submissions that will be judged in March."
