NOTICE OF MEMBERSHIP RESIGNATION
To: President, _________________________________ Education Association
I hereby resign from the ____________________________ Education Association, Idaho Education
Association, and National Education Association. Make no more requests from ________________________
Board of Education for payments of dues to these organizations.
If you refuse to accept this letter as both an effective resignation and an immediately effective dues check-off
revocation, I ask that you promptly inform me, in writing, of exactly what steps I must take to effectuate my
revocation of the dues check-off authorization. More specifically, if you contend that I must meet a “window
period” in order to revoke my dues check-off authorization, I ask that you promptly send me a copy of the
actual dues deduction authorization form that I signed and also tell me specifically what “window period” dates
I must meet in order to revoke the dues check-off authorization.

PRINT NAME Date
Immediately, no longer make any deductions from my salary for the __________________________________
Education Association, Idaho Education Association or National Education Association. I am no longer a
member of these organizations.
Idaho law makes it unlawful to deduct union dues from an employees wages without express written
authorization and it states that an employee's dues authorization "may be revoked by the employee at any time
by giving written notice of such revocation to the employer." (§ 44-2004.) Thank you for your assistance.
