Attendees were delighted to have as guest speaker none other than Governor of the great state of Louisiana, Governor John-Bel Edwards. His message dealt with the serious budget problems Louisiana faces, but he is still working hard for minimal cuts to public education and stands firm with teachers.
Breakout sessions included ways to engage members and strategies to form relationships with members and have them become active members.
Relationship + Action = Engagement
A legislative update was presented and attendees were encouraged to contact their legislators on issues that would adversely affect public education.
