Welcome to the Fife Local Association of the EIS

Fife LA provides local advice and support to members along with support and training to school reps. The Fife Executive meets monthly, in term time, to discuss local issues. If you would like to be part of this decision making body please contact the local secretary as outlined above.

Regular newsletters are sent to all Fife members with the latest news and advice. In order to receive this news we ask that your membership or contact information is kept current so that you do not miss out. This can be done by logging into the My EIS section of the national website https://www.eis.org.uk/Account/EISLogin or by emailing the Fife LA office.
