 Association of Educational Leaders (GAEL) has united school leaders across
  the state to build a <strong data-start="445" data-end="491">strong\, uni
 fied voice for public education</strong>. Today\, membership is more criti
 cal than ever. With unprecedented turnover in educational leadership posit
 ions\, GAEL remains dedicated to supporting leaders through <strong data-s

 to become a member of GAEL because a group of educational leaders like you
  formed GAEL in 1974 to have a strong\, unified voice for public education
  in Georgia. The strength of GAEL has grown due to the large number of mem
 bers across our state. This ensures our voices are heard in the important 
 work of advocacy on behalf of public education each legislative session. T
 he pioneers that formed GAEL knew the importance of belonging to a profess
 ional organization that unified public education in Georgia. Over time\, G
 AEL has continued to focus on the three pillars of professional developmen
 t\, networking and advocacy. Today&rsquo\;s unprecedented turnover in educ
 ational leader positions makes membership in GAEL more critical than ever 
 as we build future leaders to fill open positions in our great state.&rdqu
