Joining the West Fargo Education Association gives you all this and more! Members get a combined membership of our local union (WFEA) plus North Dakota United and the National Education Association.
There is a fee. This year it is $623 for the membership package. Is that a lot of money? Yes. Is it worth it? Over 640 WFPS staff members say yes. And you can choose how to pay:
- One lump sum OR divided monthly throughout the year
- Via credit card or ACH (bank account withdrawals)
ONE LAST THING: Dues do NOT go toward political action. They only go toward helping you. People have an option to donate to a PAC, but most members don’t. So, if you’re worried about politics, don’t be! These associations are here to serve YOU.
