Educational Administrators and Support Personnel Association (EASPA)

All APS employees in the Management Staff Exempt (MSN/E), Professional Support Exempt (PSN/E), Computer Support Exempt (CSN/E) and Administrative Executive Support (ESN) payroll groups are eligible for membership. All requests for membership are accepted.
A payroll deduction to cover dues is required and the Application for EASPA Membership must be completed, signed and submitted to:
- Charlene Lippert, EASPA Secretary, or
- Joycelyn Jackson, EASPA Treasurer
The membership form will be forwarded to the Payroll Department to start the deduction of $3.33 per paycheck for 24 pay periods.

There is no binding document. A written request to Payroll or to the EASPA treasurer is all that is necessary to stop the dues payment to disenroll from the organization.
