Greetings! The 11th annual New York State Legislative Forum will take place
on Tuesday, March 4, 2008.

Take this opportunity to join New York State education professionals to make our voice heard in Albany. The forum will provide a chance to impact the future of education and higher education in New York.

Forum highlights:
• "Effective Advocacy (Lobby 101)" session at the Crowne Plaza Hotel
• Meet with your representatives
o Voice your support for Higher Education and K-12
o Different tracks based on level of experience
o Special track for students
• Buses pick up from, and return to, New York City
• Distinguished keynote speaker

This is an extremely significant year for education and policy. Gov. Spitzer has announced his intention to adopt many of the recommendations of his Commission on Higher Education, which is the state’s most expansive higher education initiative in decades.

There promises to be important opportunities and challenges in the education field with the state budget deadline on April 1. We can advocate for implementation of the Commission’s recommendations as well as more state funding for K-12.

More details and registration information will follow.

Contact Matt Peppe or Brian Fessler now to register at (518) 472-1515,
mpeppe@collegeboard.org or bfessler@collegeboard.org.
