MEMBER SERVICES OVERVIEW
We advocate for our members, improving the quality of the working environment and the delivery of education in Broward County.
Employment Advocacy
There are times in each school-based administrator's career when being on the "firing line" takes on a significant meaning. During times of increased stress and political pressures, members have a place to turn for peer counseling and even legal counsel.
BPAA advocates for the fair and equitable treatment of its members and has been instrumental in helping to avoid problematic employment situations.
Prestigious Affiliations
Membership in the Broward Principals' and Assistants' Association (BPAA) provides its members access to membership in the Florida Association of School Administrators, the National Association of Elementary School Principals, and the National Association of Secondary School Principals.
Prestigious recognition can be achieved through involvement & chairpersonship of BPAA committees or being elected to the BPAA Board of Directors.
BPAA programs encourage all school-based management professionals to strive for outstanding performance and leadership in the field of education.

The BPAA Legal Defense Committee has been established to provide legal services to the members of the BPAA, whose careers and job security are threatened, and to administer in accordance with the BPAA Legal Defense Guidelines established by the Executive Board and the Legal Defense Fund.
