Organizing Members to VoteOrganizing Members to Vote• Collective Voice – The OEA is the collective voice of its members. In essence, YOU

are the OEA and your voice makes a difference.• Collective Action – Action is required for any change. The members you choose to

represent you on the state level help make the decisions that affect your classroom and your profession as a whole. Become part of the process by casting your ballot.

Organizing Members to VoteOrganizing Members to Vote• Remember –While online voting is much easier (no paperwork, votes are

counted as soon as they are cast, no returning ballots to HQ, etc.), it is no less important. Local leaders are asked to encourage their members to vote and, if possible, make voting easily accessible for them.

Ideas & IncentivesIdeas & Incentives• Hold an Association meeting in your building's computer lab

and ask members to vote during the meeting.

• Set up a laptop, iPad or other tablet in the teachers' lounge, connect to okea.org and encourage members to vote during their planning times, lunch periods or after school.

• Enter those members who vote in a drawing to win a gift card or another prize.
