The Educational Services Administrators (ESA) division of ASA is one of six active divisions of Arizona School Administrators. Governed by its own elected Executive Board, the purposes and objectives of ESA are consistent with those of ASA while focusing on the issues related to the membership of the division.

ELIGIBLE ESA MEMBERS

The ESA division was created for school district administrators serving as assistant superintendents, program directors, program coordinators, as well as representatives from the Arizona Department of Education. ESA is a division for those school officials who function to serve others.

Division members are specifically served by ESA through participation in programs and activities designed to meet their professional needs. Personal assistance is provided by experienced representatives selected for each functional subdivision. Division members receive regular legislative up-dates and information regarding programmatic changes occurring at the state and federal levels. ESA serves a vehicle for professional networking.

Active ESA members are eligible for election to the ESA Executive Board which is the governing arm for the division. Division officers include a president, president-elect, a past president , vice president and a secretary-treasurer. Other members of the Executive Board include regionally elected delegates who provide representation of the membership at-large.

There are seven levels of membership in the division: Active, Associate, Graduate Student, Honorary, Retired, Business, and Institutional.

Persons holding an active administrative certificate who are employed as a school administrator for at least one-half of their working day are eligible for active member status. Active members are entitled to all rights and privileges of ASA and ESA.

Persons serving in administrative positions who do not hold state certification are eligible for associate membership. Associate members are entitled to all rights and privileges of ASA and ESA, except the right to hold office or participate in the association's legal assistance program.
