department of Government Relations is responsible for promoting
the beliefs and priorities of the MASA membership and the
MASA Legislative Committee to state and federal legislators.
The MASA department of Government Relations enables MASA membership
by allowing access to pertinent legislative information in
a timely manner.
Our
online presence serves many purposes for MASA members. By
posting essential information, members stay informed of key
developments coming out of the Capitol. Our site also empowers
members to contact policy makers and make a difference! Found
below are many tools and resources to help map out the legislative
process.
Legislative
Action Network (LAN) – The LAN is MASA’s
online grassroots advocacy tool that allows members to get
involved in the legislative process and contact their legislators.
Legislative

issues, happenings, and action. These updates are produced
weekly when the legislature is in session.

SAPAC
(School Administrators Political Action Committee)
– SAPAC is a political action committee designed to
raise funds to enable MASA to support and attend legislators’
functions and thus establish a rapport with key education
supporters in the Legislature. Friendly relationships and
greater access to legislators will lead to more opportunities
to influence education and tax policy.
