IPA Legislative Committee

The IPA Legislative Committee advocates on behalf of Illinois’ school leaders with the Governor, General Assembly, and Federal Legislators. The committee also reviews IPA Platform Statements, provides legislative and advocacy information to Region membership, promotes Principal for a Day participation, and helps build relationships with legislators to grow our grassroots network with policymakers. The Committee is open to all active IPA members.
