Annual Meeting 2010

Be An After-School Advocate

Supporting the development and growth of statewide policies that impact after-school is critical in achieving the goals of the Michigan After-School Partnership. To ensure high-quality programs and to develop sustainable streams of local, state, and federal funding, we must inform and influence the decision-makers who can advance the policy agenda for after-school and positive youth development. Engaging local grassroots efforts in the state-wide agenda is critical.

You can become an after-school advocate!

 

The most effective way of communicating to your legislators is a face-to-face meeting.

 

We encourage you to invite your state legislators to the MASP Annual Meeting luncheon as your guest.  There is no programming during lunch (11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.), so that you can use that time as an opportunity to communicate to your legislators the importance of after-school.  We will provide you with the tools and talking points you need in the two advocacy training workshop options during the morning session of the MASP Annual Meeting.

 

If your legislator is not able to attend the luncheon, we encourage you to stay after the Annual Meeting, and meet with them in their office.
