| "Focus Day is the once-a-year advocacy event WSPTA members host in Olympia to provide our legislators a chance for straightforward, one-on-one conversation with us. Please reserve the date, Wednesday, February 13th, to join in this year. We'll walk office-to-office around the Capitol Campus to speak with our lawmakers, and hear their point of view. Yet Focus Day is more than a sit-down with your lawmaker for a fleeting discussion about issues. The event conveys our commitment to developing a direct relationship with our legislators. We are building a bond to understand their perspective, a relationship to influence their position on issues, and a rapport to prompt their taking action too. Ultimately, Focus Day is about a personal connection created to link a legislator's vote directly an issue that PTA champions." |
