Thousands of teachers across America have decided to join a professional association rather than a teacher union. Over 325,000 educators nationwide in 27 states have joined non-union professional teacher associations like VPE!
As a Virginia educator, you can join thousands of other colleagues and teaching professionals who receive twice the legal protection and liability insurance that teacher unions provide - but at a fraction of the cost!

Remember, VPE’s membership benefits can be invaluable - especially if you encounter legal, liability, or other job-related problems during the course of the school year. For a closer look at VPE’s legal and liability coverage, take a look at a summary of our insurance policy and its coverage areas (see below).
Or compare our policy coverage with the NEA/VEA policy (see link below).
As you can see, you get much more coverage with VPE, at about one-third the cost of teacher union dues! And you have the added peace of mind that none of your membership money is being spent on partisan politics or controversial social issues.

If you are like most of our members, your decision to join VPE is based on three things: Security & Protection, Cost Savings, and Personal Values.
Here are some comments about this from a few of our teachers and leaders:
"As a new teacher, I looked at various sources of support for me as an individual. I found only one organization interested in what I needed, not what they wanted - a number to be used in non-education related political battles. That group was VPE. I've been a happy member ever since."
- Bill Rhatican, Instructor, Northern Virginia Community College
Retired Teacher, Fairfax County Public Schools
"Virginia Professional Educators represents the heart and soul of great teachers — professionalism and a focus on children first. This is refreshingly simple. Teachers are looking for an organization that provides for all of their professional needs, but one which also honors their personal values and respects their right to have different political opinions."
- Tracey Bailey - 1993 National Teacher of the Year
“I joined VPE for peace of mind. In my 33 years of teaching experience, in three different counties, I have seen too many of my colleagues need representation. It might be a call into ‘the office’ for an administrative, parent or student complaint, but that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach won't be so bad if the support and strength of VPE are with you.
- Linda Werz, Hanover County Public Schools
