About GAE

We Are The Georgia Association of Educators
The Georgia Association of Educators (GAE) is Georgia's premier professional association for public school employees. We are a member-led organization supporting students and educators in Georgia's public schools through grassroots organizing, legislative advocacy, and legal action.
In this section you can find out about everything from the focus of our association, our leadership, and our membership makeup to material for the media and information about our association’s beginnings.

Our Focus

We’re the faces on education’s front line. We exist to support, protect, and strengthen those who nurture Georgia’s children. After all, our educational programs can be only as good as our educators. For us, standing up for education means standing up for educators.

History of GAE

The history and beginnings of Georgia's pre-eminent education organization.

Our Leaders

GAE members elect delegates who elect GAE's top officers, debate issues, and set GAE policy. Here are your leaders, making your voice heard.

Whom We Represent

As a certified professional, education support professional, aspiring educator (student), or retired member, you are fighting the good fight for our profession and public education. Your membership and active participation will help us to strengthen that great equalizer of our democracy -- public education.

Our working environments are students' learning environments, which makes it so important that teachers and support staff are less stressed and more prepared to pour into our students.
