CEC State Units

A state unit is an organization of all CEC members within a state. For example, Virginia CEC is composed of all CEC members in the state of Virginia.

State units provide a means for networking, professional development, and information-sharing for members in their state. Their typical activities include sponsoring an annual conference and other professional development events, publishing a newsletter or journal, political advocacy, and supporting the activities and positions of the Council for Exceptional Children.

For information about CEC's provincial units, visit the Canada section of the CEC Web site.

For information about a specific state, contact the president or link to their Web site as listed below. Or, you may contact CEC’s Constituent Services Center at (888) 232-7733 or service@cec.sped.org.
