About FEA

FEA is a union for DoDEA faculty and staff.
Learn how we support you through collective bargaining, legal support, advocacy, professional development and more.
With its headquarters in Washington, D.C., FEA is a global organization, representing thousands of Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) employees in Europe, Asia, the United States and its territories. Our members include teachers and certified staff, Education Support Professionals (ESPs), and retirees.

Where We Work

FEA is organized into three geographic areas: Europe, Stateside, and Pacific. In addition, each Area has its own local organizations and affiliates connected to FEA. These “locals” are the backbone of FEA and serve as the primary contact for most FEA members.

The Federal Education Association is led by a team of elected officers and area directors who are dedicated to representing the voices of DoDEA educators around the world.
