    Washington Week 2024

    Washington Week is just around the corner on June 3-5. As in year’s past, it will include an extended in-person State Leaders Institute. If there are issues or topics you would like to suggest for the agenda, please send them to Christine Gorowara (gorowarac@trinitydc.edu) or me (jking@aacte.org). This year, ACSR leaders will have the opportunity to participate in mock media interviews and, unlike in year’s past, you will not bear responsibility for scheduling your state’s congressional visits!

    Early Bird registration is now available, so reserve your place today!

    2024-25 State Support Grant Call for Proposals

    Please be on the lookout for the 2024-25 AACTE State Support Grant Call for Proposals, which will be hitting your inboxes later this month. Applications will be due by June 28. Proposals are welcome for activities that address advocacy and policy leadership, enhancing program quality, or partnership and communication.

    ACSR Mentor Program

    If you are new to state affiliate organization leadership and would like to have an experienced leader as a mentor – or if you are an experienced leader and are willing to share what you’ve learned with a colleague, please sign up for the ACSR Mentor Program.  This year, ACSR Chair Christine Gorowara will hold quarterly meetings for mentor and mentees to share insights.  To sign up as a mentor or mentee, please send a message to me (jking@aacte.org) or to Christine (gorowarac@trinitydc.edu).

    Changes in State Leadership

    So that everyone in your state organization can stay abreast of the latest ACSR news, please keep me informed of any changes to the leadership of your state organization.

  • Scheduling Congressional Visits

    We are excited to welcome you all to Washington in just a few short weeks. As you schedule visits with your Congressional representatives please be sure to update the "2023 Day on the Hill Congressional Meeting Status" tracker which can be found under the Library tab with your other Washington Week materials. All attendees are responsible for scheduling their own visits with their Congressional Representatives in the House while state leads will schedule Senate visits for the state delegation. 

    A few additional reminders:

    If you are a state lead you are responsible for scheduling the Senate visits for your state and communicating the schedule to your state delegation. You can find the list of registrants  from your state under the Library tab on the sheet entitled "WW Attendee List". 

    Doctoral scholars are not responsible for scheduling their own visits but rather should attend visits with their faculty sponsor. If you are a doctoral scholar attending Washington Week without a faculty representative from your institution please contact me directly for assistance with scheduling and preparing for your visits. 

    If you are having any problems scheduling please do not hesitate to contact me directly at kbrennan@aacte.org. I am here for you! Thank you for all you do and your ongoing dedication and commitment to this very important work.
