Legislative Committee Openings

Do you want to help shape NJSBA’s legislative agenda and advocacy action plan? 

If so, there are several openings left on NJSBA’s Legislative Committee for board members who want to volunteer their time to communicate with state and federal lawmakers about critical issues to New Jersey’s school districts. 

The committee meets approximately six times a year to review and to adopt positions on state legislative proposals affecting boards of education. The committee also is responsible for promoting grassroots advocacy networks on local, county and state levels. 

Committee members are an important part of these networks and are often called upon to testify at hearings before the Legislature and the New Jersey Board of Education. 

NJSBA needs your support more than ever as it tackles tough issues like school regionalization, property tax reform, administrative cost caps, and unfunded mandates.

Openings are available in the following areas: 

Members are needed in District 9 – parts of Atlantic, Burlington and Ocean counties, District 10- parts of Monmouth and Ocean counties, District 38 – parts of Bergen County. 

Alternate members are needed in  District 7 – parts of Camden and Burlington counties, District 9 – parts of Atlantic and Ocean counties, District 10 – parts of Ocean and Monmouth counties, District 15 – Mercer County, District 27 – Essex County, District 31 – Hudson County, District 34 – Essex and Passaic counties.
