The involvement of VEA members is an essential element in the success of the Division's program.
Training is an important part of our teacher volunteer lobbying and campaign effort.
Pre-Legislative Workshops A series of regional informational workshops are held in October and November and are designed to prepare members for lobbying General Assembly members. This is a participatory workshop where members can learn the basics of face to face lobbying. Training in the essential elements of winning a political campaign concentrates on telephone banks, door to door contacts and direct mail. Getting a PAC started is simple. Keeping it going and getting members to participate is more difficult.
