A primary objective of CCAE is to assist in the development and passage of legislation that provides positive benefits for adult schools, students, staff members and communities. We work with State Legislators and government officials to achieve this goal by initiating specific legislation, testifying at hearings, and disseminating important legislative updates and information to our constituents.
Legislative Advocate—CCAE employs, on a part-time basis, a highly regarded Legislative Advocate—Dawn Sanders Koepke. She tracks pertinent legislation, meets regularly with both our State Legislative Committee and our State Board and Officers, and works directly with Legislators on key bills and initiatives.
Annual Legislative Day—During the spring of every year, 100-150 members of CCAE converge on Sacramento to meet personally with all 120 Legislators or their staff. Special training is held prior to the visits to assist our members in their meetings. Many members have found this to be the most meaningful activity that they have ever participated as an adult educator. We have also sponsored successful current and former students and school board members to join in this day.
State Legislative Committee—Each of our six sections select a Section Legislative Chair who meets quarterly with the Legislative Lobbyist and our State Legislative Chair. They discuss current issues and pending legislation and give direction to the Lobbyist regarding our position on these bills. Discussion also takes place at our Annual Planning Meeting on possible bills and issues we would like to have promoted with the Legislature.
Legislative Network—Section Legislative Chairs communicate with local Chapter Presidents and Chapter Legislative Chairs on a regular basis. They carry back information on what is taking place in Sacramento, and bring forth ideas from local members regarding possible legislative initiatives. |
