About the 2023 Winner:

The Pennsylvania ACAC Government Relations Committee lobbies at the state level for funding and programming to support Pennsylvania’s students. Advocacy efforts include the Advocacy Leadership Credential (ALC). This credential is a ground-breaking program that provides college admission counseling professionals with the opportunity to learn how to advocate with local, state, and federal legislators on issues central to secondary and postsecondary education. The ALC program has become a staple of PACAC’s GRC advocacy efforts, as it provides curriculum in four webinar sessions designed to educate PACAC members about advocacy, provide information specific to secondary and postsecondary school issues related to policy, and provide instruction and resources on how to conduct a legislative visit. Participants are free to advocate for their own issues and continue to build relationships with their local legislators even after the Credential is completed. This program promises to introduce many current and future professionals to advocacy efforts at the state and national level.
