CONTACTS + INFORMATION

Member Services Information by Jerry Stefanyk
ARTA Member Services would like to remind ARTA members in the Education Sector that , since you renew your membership directly with ARTA , you do not need to wait until the renewal season to pay for your membership . You can call the office with a credit card number ( Visa or Master Card ) and we can renew your membership over the phone .
For Public and Private Sector members , since you pay your membership fees monthly , we will automatically send you your membership card . You should receive it by the end of June .
All members please note that if your contact information changes such as your address , phone number , email address or power of attorney , you must contact both ARTA Member Services and the ARTA Benefits Plan Administrator at the Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan . You can reach ARTA Member Services at 1-855-212-2400 ( press 1 ), or 780-822-2400 in the Edmonton area . ASEBP can be reached at 1-855-444-2782 , or 780-989-8709 in the Edmonton area .
The ARTA staff would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Education Sector members for their patience in renewing their memberships . This year there are approximately 8000 memberships up for renewal . Since we only have four people on the phones , unfortunately , some of the calls go to voice mail . We return all messages — provided the caller has left a phone number and name . Again , thank you for your patience .
ARTA Member Services staff is also checking to verify that the contact information we have on file
