2026 NAEA Nominating Committee: Call for Applications

The National Art Education Association (NAEA) is the leading professional membership organisation for visual arts educators in the United States, serving art teachers, museum educators, and arts administrators at every level from early childhood through higher education. This listing relates to the 2026 NAEA Nominating Committee Call for Applications, which invites NAEA members to apply to serve on the committee responsible for selecting candidates for the association's elected leadership positions. While this is a governance opportunity rather than a traditional PD session, participation in NAEA's leadership structures provides a powerful form of professional growth—committee members gain insight into the national landscape of art education, collaborate with representatives from every NAEA Region and Division, and help shape the future direction of the organisation. NAEA also offers extensive professional development through their annual National Convention (one of the largest gatherings of art educators in the world), virtual workshops, webinars, research publications, and advocacy resources. For art educators looking to deepen their professional engagement and contribute to the national conversation about visual arts education, NAEA membership and leadership involvement offer meaningful pathways for growth and impact.
