J.F. Anchorage, Alaska

"Last year, at the recommendation of my friend, I moved my NEA membership to CEAI. I have been very pleased and satisfied with this decision. Founded in 1953, CEAI is an alternative choice to NEA, and a professional organization of caring Christians who share a deep desire to touch others with God's love..."
M.M. Annandale, Virginia

"I have really appreciated CEAI in the past year and a half. I really struggled knowing that I had to have insurance to work in the classroom, but did not want to support NEA. I am affirm believer that God needs to be glorified in an organization that I support. When my professor offered the CEAI option, I jumped! I could not have found a better organization. Thank you for your support, Christian viewpoints, support of a Christian magazine, insightful information for teachers, and most of all glorifying God in your organization!"
L.L. Big Flats, New York
