TESOL Advocacy Day 2011
TESOL Advocacy Day 

Each year in June, MATSOL sends a member of the Board of Directors to represent MATSOL at TESOL Advocacy Day in Washington, DC. Affiliate members from around the United States receive training on the legislative process, and then visit their Senators and Congressmen on Capitol Hill to advocate for the rights of English language learners on the federal level. 

TESOL has opened Advocacy Day to any member who would like to participate.  If you are interested, please contact TESOL directly
