MASA’s department of Government Relations is responsible for promoting the beliefs and priorities of the MASA membership and the MASA Legislative Committee to state and federal legislators. The MASA department of Government Relations enables MASA membership by allowing access to pertinent legislative information in a timely manner.
Our online presence serves many purposes for MASA members. By posting essential information, members stay informed of key developments coming out of the Capitol. Our site also empowers members to contact policy makers and make a difference! Found below are many tools and resources to help map out the legislative process.
Legislative Action Network (LAN) – The LAN is MASA’s online grassroots advocacy tool that allows members to get involved in the legislative process and contact their legislators.
Legislative Updates – Weekly summaries of legislative issues, happenings, and action. These updates are produced weekly when the legislature is in session.
Legislative Relations Network (LRN) Conference – Register today for the premiere legislative event, co-sponsored by MASB and MASA. The LRN conference, in the Spring of each year, will present hot issues such as the school aid budget; the message schools should be communicating; and education policy issues.
