How Do You Become a Member?

Joining is easy! Call Bonnie, BEA Office Manager, at 248.9812 or e-mail her at jp.allen@beabillings.org. She can answer any questions you may have and send you a membership form.

BEA membership is available to all School District 2 employees whose work positions are included in our bargaining unit.

BEA membership is unified which means when you become a member of the Billings Education Association you also become a member of MFPE (our state affiliate) and our two national affiliates – NEA and AFT.

As a BEA Member:

  • You have voting rights in the Association.
  • You can serve on committees and run for any officer positions in the BEA, MEA-MFT, NEA & AFT.
  • You are provided, at no additional cost, $1 million dollar professional liability insurance through NEA to protect you from personal financial liability arising from educational employment activities and duties, or lawsuits.
  • You receive NEA Complimentary Life Insurance, a free policy that provides:  $50,000 of accidental death and dismemberment coverage while on the job or serving as an Association leader; up to $5,000 of accidental death and dismemberment coverage off the job; up to $1,000 of term life insurance; up to $150,000 of life insurance for unlawful homicide while on the job.
  • You can get discounts on services such as home financing, no-fee/low-rate credit cards, financial planning assistance, low-cost car and home insurance, and much more.
  • You have NEA Click & Save, a discount service which offers savings on brand name merchandise from hundreds of retailers, online stores, and local merchants--giving you discounts on clothing, electronics, restaurants, jewelry, movie tickets and more!

What We Do for You!
