Welcome to the Local Leaders Access Request website!
Whether the Local Leader is a bargaining unit vice-president, a MABO chairperson, an RA delegate - or other eligible MEA member-officers, this website is for you to request access to the MyMEA.org website for that local leader, add a MyMEA.org email account for him or her, change an account, or even remove access when that person no longer holds an office. This page explains the kinds of Requests that can be made via this website, who can obtain Local Leader access, the Local Leader Access Request used to submit the request, and whom to contact with any problems or questions.
Who is eligible? << Back
At the bargaining unit (local) level, any eligible officers (President, Treasurer, etc.) of that unit may receive Web access to and an email account on MyMEA.org. In addition, certain delegates, coordinating council officers, and other board members and chairpersons may also obtain the same privileges.
Any member can access the Local Leader Access Request website through the MyMEA.org Welcome page.
Types of Requests << Back
There are three basic kinds of requests:
In a Change request, the type of access (such as what e-mail distribution list(s) the local leader should be a member of) needs to change based on a change of office or for other reasons.
A Remove request is used to cancel website access and the email account because a local leader no longer holds an eligible position.
Note: An Add and a Remove request can be made on the same form. An example is when David Smith is assuming the office of Eastern City EA Treasurer, and is replacing Mary Jones (who needs to be Removed) in that position.
The Local Leader Access Request form << Back
Overview << Back
The Local Leader Access Request form is the on-line form you use to submit the Local Leader Access request. It can be broken down to three parts: The Add Local Leader Access section, the Remove Local Leader Access section, and the Requestor Contact Info section. Depending on what type of request is desired, one or more of these sections need to be filled out to complete the request.
When the information needed to complete the request is filled out, clicking the Submit Request button at the bottom of the form moves the request to the next step, where the Local Leader Access Request Administrator processes the request to its completion.
What data is required? << Back
The information required to complete the Local Leader Access Request form depends on the type of request. Regardless of the type of request, the required fields will always be indicated with a red asterisk (*).
If it is an Add request, then at a minimum, the First Name and Last Name of the Local Leader must be filled in, a Bargaining Unit must be selected, and one or more office Positions must be checked in the Add Local Leader Access section. Also, fill in the appropriate e-mail field when the Preferred Contact Method is by home or work e-mail.
If it is a Change request, then at a minimum, the requirements are the same as in Add requests. In addition, however, the Please Describe what has changed comments section must also be filled out.
If it is a Remove request, then at a minimum, the First Name and Last Name of the Local Leader must be filled in, a Bargaining Unit must be selected, and one or more office Positions must be checked in the Remove Local Leader Access section.
For any request, if you are making the request on behalf of a Local Leader, it is strongly suggested that you fill in the Requestor Contact Info section, with at least one form of contact (E-mail or Phone number). The Local Leader Access Administrator may have questions concerning your request and need to contact you. In addition, you may wish to receive notification when the Local Leader has been granted access by the Local Leader Access Administrator.
The Add Access, Change Access, and Remove Access Only radio buttons << Back
These three radio buttons at the top of the Add Local Leader Access section correspond to the three request types. It is important to know which radio button to select when determining which type you are submitting.
Choosing any of these buttons causes the form to behave differently, as follows:
Submitting a request is as simple as clicking the Submit Request button. Ensure that the data you have supplied is complete and correct when doing so. As a precaution, you will be presented with a message that requests confirmation of this when you click the Submit Request button.
If any of the data you have supplied is not valid or is missing, a message is displayed explaining each field that still needs data or has invalid data.
Remember that once you confirm the submission of the request, you will no longer have access to the request to make changes.
What happens after I successfully submit a request? << Back
Essentially three things happen after a request is submitted.

What happens after I successfully submit a request? << Back
Essentially three things happen after a request is submitted.
-
The Local Leader is informed that a request has been submitted, whether or not that
person is the one who submitted the request. At the same time, if the requestor,
if different than the local leader, is also informed if the Requestor
Email field was filled in.
- The Local Leader
Access Administrator performs a daily review of all submitted requests.
He or she is responsible for verifying the Local Leader information and granting
or removing access according to the request. Once he or she has completed the steps
to fulfill the request, then
- The Local Leader, the Local Association President (if different than the Local Leader), the responsible Uniserv Director, and the Requestor (if the Requestor Email field has been filled in), will receive notification of the fulfillment of the request.
