Lobbying Resources

Grassroots involvement of members in every corner of the state is the heart of the association’s lobbying strategy. Legislators want – and need – to hear how their actions impact children and education back home. You don’t have to be an expert on school finance, or anything else, but you are the expert on how legislation will affect your students and your school.

ISEA CAPITOL CORPS: The ISEA Capitol Corps is composed of volunteers who can join us in-person during the legislative session to visit the Iowa Capitol. Corps members work with ISEA staff to arrange visits to the Capitol to advocate for pro-public education policies. ISEA provides talking points on relevant legislation, informational one-pagers, and logistical support. Learn more by signing up today!
