Why Join GAEL?
Since 1974, the Georgia Association of Educational Leaders (GAEL) has united school leaders across the state to build a strong, unified voice for public education. Today, membership is more critical than ever. With unprecedented turnover in educational leadership positions, GAEL remains dedicated to supporting leaders through professional learning, networking, and advocacy.
A message from Ben Wiggins, GAEL Executive Director:
“I invite you to become a member of GAEL because a group of educational leaders like you formed GAEL in 1974 to have a strong, unified voice for public education in Georgia. The strength of GAEL has grown due to the large number of members across our state. This ensures our voices are heard in the important work of advocacy on behalf of public education each legislative session. The pioneers that formed GAEL knew the importance of belonging to a professional organization that unified public education in Georgia. Over time, GAEL has continued to focus on the three pillars of professional development, networking and advocacy. Today’s unprecedented turnover in educational leader positions makes membership in GAEL more critical than ever as we build future leaders to fill open positions in our great state.”
