About FEA

FEA is a union for DoDEA faculty and staff.
Learn how we support you through collective bargaining, legal support, advocacy, professional development and more.
With its headquarters in Washington, D.C., FEA is a global organization, representing thousands of Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) employees in Europe, Asia, the United States and its territories. Our members include teachers and certified staff, Education Support Professionals (ESPs), and retirees.

Where We Work

FEA is organized into three geographic areas: Europe, Stateside, and Pacific. Each Area is led by an FEA Area Director who coordinates efforts on behalf of members. Within each Area are local organizations and affiliates that serve as the primary point of contact for most members. These locals are the backbone of FEA, providing direct support and connection at the school and installation level.

Our Leadership

The Federal Education Association is led by a team of elected officers and area directors who are dedicated to representing the voices of DoDEA educators around the world.
