Business Partners

Whether it's providing books and financial support for "Read Across America," honoring outstanding educators, or staging special events at the annual Utah Education Association Convention, UEA Business Partnership Board members are assisting Utah teachers and helping prepare Utah students for the future.

Organized in 1998, the UEA Partnership Board is made up of corporate officers, managers, and sales and marketing directors who work with the Association to provide business support for UEA programs aimed at improving student literacy and self-esteem, enhancing technology, and helping at-risk youth.
