To preserve, promote, and improve public education through advocacy, action and education.

This mission is reflected in our goals of member rights, membership, leadership, political action, communication, and professional issues.

The Mike Osborne Memorial Scholarship sponsored by the Beaverton Education Association is in memory of our past school board chair, Mike Osborne, who passed away suddenly in 2006. Mike was a great advocate for the Beaverton School District and members of BEA. This scholarship is for the benefit of graduating high school seniors who are children of active Beaverton Education Association members. The scholarship honors the hours of dedicated service Mr. Osborne gave to Beaverton School District and many other organizations. The focus of the required essay is volunteerism. Scholarships for the 2010 graduating class will be awarded in amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000. Announcement of scholarship recipients will be made during the recipient’s high school Senior Awards Assembly and in the BEA Focus. Money awarded must be used for college related expenses including tuition, books and fees.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: 
1. Applicant must be the legal child, stepchild or dependent of an active BEA member. Fair Share members do not qualify.
2.  Applicant must be a graduating high school senior but does not need to be attending a Beaverton school.

BEA is affiliated with our state and national associations; the Oregon Education Association (OEA), and the National Education Association (NEA).

BEA represents its 2,600 members' interests through bargaining and collaborative problem solving sessions with the Beaverton School District.  We offer a variety of training opportunities in areas such as leadership, communication, contract maintenance and licensure.

As our membership grows, we continue to look for new ways to address the challenges facing the modern educator. Creating an informative and friendly web site is one way we are trying to meet the diverse needs of our members.

Take a look around our site and see what we're all about. This site is intended to help current BEA members with the many questions they may have about their local union as well as inform new or prospective BEA members.
