Advocacy Center

As your advocate in the Statehouse, OSPA has created this page to arm you with the tools to advocate for your profession and the children you serve in a variety of ways. We also welcome you to join the Advocacy Committee to keep abreast of our work. 

 

When engaging in advocacy, you have a number of options for contacting elected officials. You may:

  • Call a lawmaker's office and talk to their staff or request a conversation with the legislator. 
  • Schedule an in-person or virtual meeting with your elected official.
  • Present oral testimony before a committee.
  • Submit written testimony to a committee.
