AASA’s Legislative Advocacy Conference is the premier opportunity for school superintendents and school business officials to make their voices heard on Capitol Hill and learn about the latest federal policy issues that will impact their districts.
The event hosts, AASA and ASBO, will be on-hand to brief you on key priorities and pending legislation, and to help prepare you to meet effectively with your representatives.
