Your local is that, LOCAL. We’re Okeechobee educators here doing the work.

If you have any questions or concerns about information coming from outside organizations, please reach out and let’s have a conversation!

Soon we’ll be posting office hours that one of us is here doing work and you can get information and have conversations, member or not!

Attention Local Businesses and Organizations!

Along with our membership discount cards, we are looking for community partners to help us get new shirts ordered.

Our new logo will be premiering soon, and we want to make sure that members have the opportunity to represent our local properly. It already has been 3 years since our last shirt order and we have had many new members then with a dwindling stock of shirts. PLUS we are making the shift with our new logo, requiring a new shirt for EVERY member. This is never something we have charged for, so we want to continue that practice.

We are looking for sponsors who support our work and educators. If you would like to be a sponsor please reach out via phone, text, DM, or email so we can get with you.

Thank you for considering!

We know we’ve recently heard of people who applied and had not heard or were waiting while the district was in a hiring freeze. Make sure you go apply again!

Once you’re hired make sure you come talk to us to join your union!

As we gathered for the final session of our leadership conference, a powerful moment unfolded when the presentation screen came to life with a TikTok video showcasing our team's journey of growth and learning. The experience left me speechless. I'm deeply grateful for the incredible team supporting me, united in our mission to empower our local union and enrich the lives of our members and district. Together, we're building on the momentum, inviting more members to join us in shaping a brighter future. If you're inspired to learn more about our work and the transformative experience of my team, I encourage you to reach out to them directly - they'd be thrilled to share their stories.

Hey OCEA Members!

If you haven’t heard, we’re updating our logo! We’ll share more about why this change came about when we do the reveal (which will happen soon), but with a new logo comes new shirts.

Help us put together the order by filling out this form to help gather what sizes we need and to make sure we have updated contact information: https://forms.gle/xtHSHoZYh3rQ8qLV9

We have also emailed this out, and next week we’ll start texting those who we haven’t gotten a response from. Help us out by making sure your member friends have filled it out!

Summer Academy has a lot of fun, but we’re thrilled to have a team that’s been passionate sharing what they learn with each other, so we wanted to give you a little glimpse.

Stay tuned for more photos and info on what we’ve been up to this week!

We have a wonderful group headed to Orlando for FEA’s Summer Academy.

While Tiffany and Sarah are attending the leadership seminar, other members will be learning about internal and external, organizing, communications, and getting acquainted with FYRE.

We are so excited to have this group going to learn, grow, and bond to help strengthen our local.

It’s time!

We’re ready to start gathering business partners for our upcoming school year’s OCEA Member Discount Card!

We just sent an email to our members for first dibs, and Sarah will start connecting with local businesses this week!

If you own a business, or have a favorite local spot you’d love to see participate, tag them below to make sure they know and make sure we don’t miss them! There are SO many incredible small businesses in this town!

Again, this would be a discount given to members of OCEA. We have a letter with more details and example discounts to provide interested businesses. We’re looking forward to making partnerships to benefit our members and local businesses.

It's no secret that Florida legislation in the last few years has made it harder than ever to operate as a union, but still we hear so many people in our bargaining unit don't know.

Here are just SOME of the biggest obstacles and restrictions we face each day. What did we miss?! What did you not realize?

Not a member but want to know more? Send us a message! We'd love to chat about why it is so important and what the many benefits of union membership are.
