Legislative Advocacy Workshop 2022
District leaders are charged with many important responsibilities including the need to be an effective legislative advocate for your district and the students it serves. MASA and MoASBO have designed a workshop for superintendents, assistant superintendents, and chief financial officers, that will give participants the knowledge and confidence to build relationships with those at the state capitol, to advocate for good legislation, and to push back against legislation that is harmful to your districts and public education.
This workshop will address the following topics:
-
Building community partnerships / Developing parent meetings
-
Building relationships with legislators so your voice is effective
-
Preparing to make a positive impact when testifying in a committee hearing
-
Legal pitfalls
-
Communicating legislative issues with the Board of Education and staff
-
The workshop will include a visit to the state capitol.
