All attendees are reminded that SWATCA is a closed convention open to ATA members only.  Persons wishing to attend SWATCA who are not currently ATA members are required to contact the ATA to arrange membership.

 Q: Are teacher assistants/educational assistants/spouses of teachers/children of teachers eligible to attend teachers’ conventions?

A: No. Conventions are closed events designed for ATA members who hold the highest level of membership available to them and for a few invited guests. Central office and school administrators do not have the authority to direct teacher assistants or educational assistants to attend teachers’ conventions. (taken from the ATA website)
