Why is membership important to me?

JESPA membership is important to me because I know I am supported for the job I do! And I matter!
Margaret SmithSchool Secretary
Thanks to the raises JESPA fought for, I finally make enough to qualify for a home loan. I know it seems like a small thing, but it means so much to be able to buy property!
