Legislative Committee
Chairperson: Samantha VanOsdol
Decisions made at the Capitol have a direct impact on our classrooms, schools, and profession. The Legislative Committee helps members stay informed about education legislation, policy proposals, and advocacy opportunities at the local, state, and national levels. The committee works to promote awareness, encourage civic engagement, and strengthen the collective voice of educators on issues affecting public education. Through communication and advocacy efforts, the committee helps ensure that educators are part of the conversation when important decisions are being made.
