AAEA was incorporated over 30 years ago with the goal of seeking continual improvement in the quality of education and educational leadership in Arkansas. To this end, AAEA has committed itself to supporting school leaders through legislative representation, advocacy and professional learning opportunities. The AAEA is an umbrella association with twelve constituent educational administrator organizations. All school administrators who are members of the AAEA are also members of at least one of the constituent organizations. Their commitment to education and school leadership remains as strong today as it did in 1976, representing approximately 2,500 school administrators.
