How to Join OAPMRDD
All OEA members are eligible to join but members employed by Boards of MRDD are especially encouraged to join.
OAPMRDD is dedicated to improving the education and habilitation of persons with MRDD and being the voice for the staff who work with them. While the concentration is on students and staff in Boards of MRDD, all OEA members are eligible to join and will gain valuable information.
Dues are $9.00 in addition to the regular OEA/NEA dues.
All new members must complete an OEA membership form and mark the box indicating OAPMRDD membership. The form must be forwarded to the OEA membership department by the local membership chairperson. Please note that if membership forms are not processed by OEA you will not officially become a member.
If you are paying dues by cash or check, this process must be repeated each year. If you are on continuing membership, this will have to be completed one time only.
