Master Class Series on Advocacy

87th Legislative Session
Master Class Series on Advocacy

A highlight of TXAEYC's Advocacy during each Legislative Session is our "Early Childhood Day at the Capitol." Since 2021 will look different due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, we are pleased to offer a special virtual Master Class Series designed to develop or deepen skills for advocates so you can confidently share about the importance of early childhood education with legislators, community partners, and others.
