The IEA's annual "Educators' Day on the Hill" is coming up on January 16th and many WAEA members will be in attendance to establish relationships with legislators and proactively advocate for public education in the state of Idaho. We have a large group of 1st time Lobby Day attendees this year, so we sat down with the IEA's Political Director and head lobbyist Chris Parri to get a little bit of information about the event, how to prepare and what is at stake.
While the larger IEA Lobby Day registration is already closed, you can still register for the WAEA's "Little Lobby Day" on January 23rd (email president@westadaea.org for more info) or become a contributing P.A.C.E. member by signing up on the IEA's website here:
