Take your advocacy to the next level this spring in Washington, D.C.
Join California School Boards Association (CSBA) and the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA) for our 2nd annual 2023 Coast2Coast Federal Advocacy Trip to Washington, D.C. to shine a light on the issues affecting the state’s 6 million students. California governance team members — school and county board members and superintendents — are urged to attend this three-day annual event held in our nation’s Capital.
The event will begin with a day of education policy issues specific to California, an “insiders” briefing on the latest politics affecting federal education policy, and a networking opportunity with prominent D.C. figures and fellow educators. The training is followed by two days of meetings on Capitol Hill to advocate directly with California congressional representatives, White House officials, key federal agency leaders and other top policymakers.

Testimonials
Chris Fox. School Board Member
“This was an incredibly valuable trip that allowed us to network with others advocating for public education at the Federal level and to get the background necessary for effective legislative meetings.”
Rebecca Flex. School Board Member
“C2C was a very valuable experience. We do not often focus on the federal role in education; C2C provided this opportunity. There was a tremendous amount of valuable information from a variety of viewpoints shared with participants.”
