As we usher in February, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Member Engagement Month – a month-long campaign dedicated to fostering connection, amplifying your voices, and providing you with exciting opportunities to shape the future of education for principals and assistant principals across the state.
At AWSP, we believe that an engaged and active membership is the heartbeat of our professional association. It is your passion, dedication, and insights that drive positive change in the educational landscape. That's why we're rolling out a series of initiatives, blog posts, and weekly emails throughout the month to help you make the most of your membership.
One way to get involved is with our Grade Level Leadership Committees (GLLC). You can view current openings, and later this week, you'll get an email inviting you to apply if you're in a grade-level and ESD region with open positions. Our GLLC members consistently say their involvement is one of the highlights of their professional careers. Don't take our word for it, hear what they say about their experience engaging with AWSP.
What to Expect
Each week, you'll receive an email highlighting:
1. Winter Forum Advocacy Update
