Spring Semester, Even-numbered Years

1. Attend the annual TCCTA State Convention, held in February or early March. During the convention, local faculty leaders have an excellent opportunity for discussion with their counterparts from two-year colleges all across the state.
2. Invite your legislators to meet with your faculty organization at its meeting. If it is appropriate, invite them to say a few words.
3. Meet with your college administrators to discuss preliminary legislative goals. Besides adequate state funding, this is the time to identify important legislative issues.
4. Consider establishing a Candidates’ Forum to allow individuals who are seeking party nomi­na­tions (especially legislative candidates) to meet the public and answer questions.
5. Encourage your professional colleagues to vote.
