Structure and Operation
CEA has more than 160 local affiliates and is governed by a board of directors of approximately 35 elected members. The board meets regularly throughout the year to set goals, approve policy, and implement specific measures adopted by CEA’s highest-policy making body, the Representative Assembly (RA).
The RA meets annually each May to set policy, including approving a budget, adopting resolutions, voting on new business items, and making any amendments to the CEA constitution and bylaws.
CEA’s four executive offices, president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer, are elected at RA. Elected to three-year terms, they can serve a maximum of two terms. The president and vice president are full-time officers. CEA’s staff is headed by an executive director who oversees staff in Hartford and in CEA’s nine regional offices.

—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
