VASSP's Virginia Education Advocacy Network is important to the mission and vision of VASSP. The objectives of the network are as follows:
- Elevate the voice and influence of school leaders in policy and public discourse.
- Enhance the Virginia Education Advocacy Network to ensure active representation of network members in all 100 House of Delegate districts and 40 State Senate districts.
- Expand VASSP's influence on national-level policies affecting school leaders.
- Assist the VASSP Board in representing middle and high school principals on committees and commissions of the Virginia Department of Education and other state agencies and the Governor's office.
Our advocacy network consists of constituents contacting their elected officials about issues that are important to them and establishing relationships with these legislators. These relationships are then leveraged to influence public policy decisions. By establishing relationships and championing public school education, you encourage public officials to make a commitment to you and all the members of VASSP.
