PAA Parent Voice Award Dinner honoring Leonie Haimson Tickets, Washington
Join Parents Across America in Wasington DC on July 28, 2014, at our
first annual Parent Voice Award Dinner honoring PAA co-founder Leonie
Haimson, leader of New York City-based Class Size Matters.
This year, Leonie nearly single-handedly organized parents around the
U.S. to oppose the impending commercialization of student information by
the inBloom company, which ultimately went out of business after every
state on its original clientele list pulled out of the program. Leonie
is also the founder of NYC-based Class Size Matters, a group dedicated
to promoting smaller class size - a proven, effective school reform
strategy. Leonie started the New York Public School Parents' Blog and
has been a leader in challenging school privatization, misuse and over
use of standardized tests, and, most recently, the threat to student
data privacy.
The 2014 PAA Parent Voice Award Dinner is being hosted at the National
Education Association headquarters in Washington, DC.
Tickets will include cocktails and a buffet dinner.
Proceeds from the dinner will support PAA's programs and the work of our
chapters around the U.S.
The registration form also includes an option for those unable to attend
who would like to make a fully tax-deductible contribution to PAA in
honor of Leonie, or anyone who can attend and would like to donate to
PAA over and above the cost of the ticket. Thank you!
Folks, it's time for the big push for ticket sales to our first ever
Parent Voice Award dinner in Washington DC, and we need YOU to help
spread the word:
