The 2018 Legislative Session is now underway and January's Advocacy U workshop is designed to help you learn more about some important bills related to school funding, equity and other hot topics for this session. On average 80 or more bills related to education are introduced each legislative session. The General Assembly is in session for 120 days and each legislator may introduce 5 bills annually. You can do the math, knowing that there are 100 legislators (35 senators and 65 representatives), the number of bills can really add up!
You don't have to be a lobbyist to have your voice heard! We will spend time talking about how you can lobby the Colorado Legislature.
Our speaker for this session will be Lisa Weil, executive director of Great Education Colorado. A graduate of Greeley Public Schools, the University of Colorado, and the Yale Law School, Lisa has been a public interest attorney and political consultant. She served as Policy Director and Chief Legal Counsel for former Governor Roy Romer, and as a Legislative Aide to former Senators Timothy Wirth and Bob Kerrey. In addition, Lisa managed the first Congressional campaign of Representative Diana DeGette, and has served as a consultant on a wide variety of research and campaign projects. Lisa was closely involved in the creation and passage of Amendment 23, and co-founded Great Education Colorado in 2005.
