AESA is here to support education leaders in making a meaningful impact through state-level advocacy. To meet varying needs, we offer three levels of workshops, each designed to build your knowledge and confidence in the legislative arena.

Three-Day Workshop: A Deep Dive into State Advocacy

Our comprehensive three-day workshop offers a step-by-step guide to the world of state policy and advocacy, ideal for those seeking a thorough understanding. Each day tackles key areas to equip you with practical skills:

• Day 1: Understanding the State Legislative Landscape
• Day 2: Navigating State Policy and Rule-Making
• Day 3: Advocacy in Action

Participants leave with a strong foundation and a toolkit to advocate effectively within the state legislative process.

One-Day Workshop: Essential Advocacy Skills in a Day

Pressed for time but still want to make an impact? This one-day workshop provides a condensed, impactful overview of state advocacy, covering critical areas like legislative processes, budgeting, rule-making, and strategic advocacy methods. It’s ideal for those looking to make the most of a single day, packed with actionable insights.

Customized Workshops & Presentations

Looking for a tailored approach? AESA offers specialized, approximately one-hour presentations, perfect for regional or local events.
