The 2008 SLA theme, Organize, Empower, and Elect, continues our Invest in Excellence campaign, reflecting the IEA commitment to developing and passing a funding reform plan that will help students and education employees in every part of Illinois.  IEA is your vehicle for assuming a leadership position in shaping public education.  The SLA offers training to enhance your skills in association leadership, in the classroom, on the job, and in political decision-making circles, among others.  Whatever your interests, come to the SLA.  Be a part of the proud history and the promising future of public education.
