Each year, NYSSFA leadership meets with New York State Legislators to educate them on the critical issues affecting our schools. This powerful gathering presents a unique opportunity for you to make your voice heard and support school facilities throughout New York State. Remember: legislators need to hear a unified message from our members!
Our professional lobbying team organizes the day’s schedule, arranging half-hour meetings between chapter representatives and legislators or their staff. This coordinated approach ensures maximum impact and comprehensive coverage of key lawmakers.
Advocacy Day typically takes place on the first Wednesday in March, strategically positioned during the legislative session when budget and policy discussions are most active. We encourage you to check our website regularly and watch your email for the registration link.
Your firsthand expertise provides legislators with invaluable perspectives they can’t get elsewhere. When facilities professionals speak directly about the challenges and needs of maintaining safe, efficient school environments, lawmakers listen.
Prepare to Join Us! Prepare to join colleagues from across the state in this important initiative that directly strengthens the voice of school facilities professionals in state policy decisions.
