Member Engagement Month 2025

As we step into February, we’re excited to kick off Member Engagement Month—a dedicated time to connect, elevate your voices, and explore new opportunities to shape the future of school leadership across Washington. This month-long campaign is all about strengthening our AWSP community and ensuring that every principal and assistant principal has the resources, support, and platform to make a lasting impact.

At AWSP, we believe that engaged school leaders drive real change. Your passion, dedication, and leadership are what make our association strong. That’s why we’re rolling out weekly emails, blog posts, and interactive opportunities to help you make the most of your membership. Whether it’s diving into new resources, sharing insights, or joining key conversations, this month is designed to amplify your influence.

A great way to get involved is through our Grade Level Leadership Committees (GLLCs). These committees play a vital role in guiding AWSP’s work and ensuring school leaders across all grade levels and regions have a seat at the table. If you're in a grade-level and ESD region with open positions, keep an eye on your inbox this week for an invitation to apply. Many of our GLLC members call their involvement one of the most rewarding experiences of their careers!

What to Expect This Month:

1. Winter Advocacy Forum TOMORROW!

You'll hear from our Director of Advocacy and Government Relations, Roz Thompson,  and OSPI Deputy Superintendent, Michaela Miller, on crucial issues affecting school leaders and the advocacy work our association is doing. Register now for the Winter Forum, January 30, 4-5:30 PM.

If you are a Leader of Color, it is particularly important that we have your ethnicity data to ensure you get all the best LOCNET events and resources.

4. Thursday Member Benefits Emails

Each Thursday this month expect an AWSP email detailing one of the many member benefits that come with being a part of the AWSP family. From professional development and resources to legal benefits and additional leadership roles, we want to make sure you know about all AWSP membership has to offer.

Why Get Involved?

Your involvement is more than a checkbox on your membership journey. It's about actively contributing to the educational community, sharing your expertise, and helping shape the future. When you engage, you empower yourself and others, and collectively, we elevate the standard of education.
