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.
Invite your legislators to meet with your faculty organization at its meeting. If it is appropriate, invite them to say a few words.
Meet with your college administrators to discuss preliminary legislative goals. Besides adequate state funding, this is the time to identify important legislative issues.
Consider establishing a Candidates’ Forum to allow individuals who are seeking party nominations (especially legislative candidates) to meet the public and answer questions.
