The PGCEA AR Passport program is designed to engage our Association Representatives by encouraging them to actively fulfill their duties while rewarding their commitment. By completing tasks outlined in the Passport, Reps not only strengthen their skills and connections but also contribute to recruiting new members and enhancing our union’s collective power.
This initiative fosters a sense of community and recognition, ensuring that Reps feel valued as they champion the needs of their colleagues and the broader educational community.
Association Reps can pick up a copy of their physical passport from the PGCEA Center any time after their election. Passports will be available starting at the September Rep Council.
The following documentation is required to get credit for completing the associated tasks.
Please turn in your documentation when you get your passport stamped.
Passports can be stamped at the PGCEA offices during regular business hours.
