Local Associations in District 502

Approximately 842 IEA members work in District 502 which encompasses DuPage county. Each IEA member is part of a local association (aka bargaining unit) and has elected officials that negotiate an employment contract including wages, working hours and working conditions, maintain your IEA membership records, resolve conflict and communicate IEA news.

Your local association’s officials are elected by you and actively help your local run smoothly. Every local association has bylaws that explain the role of your elected officials, how often elections are held, how communications will be disseminated, and more.
