2024 MANS Public Policy Day
2024 MANS Public Policy Day
Registration is now closed and we are at capacity. We hope you can join us in 2025!
The 2024 Public Policy Day at the Michigan State Capitol is March 19, 2024 – an opportunity to engage with the intersection of education policy and legislative decision-making. This event offers sessions where administrators gain insights from experts in the field and most important, the chance to visit with legislators, allowing the opportunity to share concerns and priorities of nonpublic schools. By advocating for the issues facing your schools, administrators can play an active role in shaping policies that affect students, faculty, and the overall educational environment.
We thank everyone who registered and look forward to your attendance at this event! Come prepared to be proactive toward influencing policy, and to foster collaborative relationships that contribute to the growth and success of nonpublic education.
