Get the most from your ECAWA Membership!

Please be sure to keep your contact details up to date as ECAWeb and email are our primary means of keeping ECAWA Members informed. We encourage you to make sure that both personal and a ‘work’ email address are on file with ECAWA as using two addresses increases the chances that the message will reach you.
♦Ensure that email from the ecawa.wa.edu.au domain is ‘trusted’ and does not end up in your spam filter.
Most ECAWA email will come from secretary@ecawa.wa.edu.au, president@ecawa.wa.edu.au or vicepresident@ecawa.wa.edu.au
If you are a GMail user you may need to check that ECAWA email is not being shunted into the ‘Promotional’ or ‘Social’ categories.

♦Get involved in ECAWA Professional Development and Professional Learning
An obvious benefit of your ECAWA membership is being able to attend PD / PL arranged by ECAWA. This is offered at no cost or at a reduced cost to ECAWA members.
Perhaps you might offer to make a presentation or run a workshop to share your own knowledge and experience? After school PD usually runs from around 4.15pm to 5.30pm or 6.00pm, and may consist of a single presentation or two or more shorter presentations.
Check ECAWA communications to see what is being advertised, contact secretary@ecawa.wa.edu.au to enquire about future plans in your areas of interest or go to http://bit.ly/ECAWAPDOffer to make an offer to present.

Is your ECAWA Membership up to date and financial?
ECAWA memberships become due for renewal on either the 30th of March or the 30th of September each year.
If you are not sure if your membership is financial, or you need a copy of your TAX INVOICE for tax purposes, in the first instance, please search your email inbox /s for the subject line including ECAWeb Tax Invoice. That was the subject of the email that was sent when you paid your membership. When you find the most recent membership message look for the Tax Invoice that is attached. In the body of the Tax Invoice you will find a description of the membership you selected as well as the date on which the membership is due to be renewed. For example:
1XXXX – Individual Membership (2023 – September 2024) $71.50
Description: Individual Membership – $71.50 including GST – for Perth based members who prefer to be covered by their own membership, rather than a school / organisational membership, and enjoy the additional privileges attached
to this membership. This membership expires on the 30th of September, 2024, in line with the ECAWA Rules of Association.
