CLTA ADVOCACY
The mission of the CLTA Advocacy Committee is to promote, strengthen, and stand up for language education in California by working with legislators and the public to build and maintain support for language programs across the state. Every CLTA member is an advocate “any time we raise our voices in support of the educators, programs, and policies that promote language learning”. (Language Connects Foundation)
And each voice makes a difference. Let the CLTA Advocacy Committee hear your voice. For more information about the committee’s work or about how you can be a language advocate, e-mail the Advocacy Chair advocacy@clta.net.
