Also, make sure your battle plan includes checking out NASO’s website (www.naso.org), for further information as well as model legislation. Contact the NASO office at 262/632-5448. And if you want to go national with your legislation, make sure you enlist the NFHS in your efforts.
Once you’re ready to roll, consider the advice of these seasoned veterans:
Bill Hurd: “If you’re trying to get a change, the burden (of proof that the change is needed) is on you.”
Dan Denton: “I would tell anyone to do the work in the (political) offseason.”
Bob Summers: “Just start believing what you were taught in grammar school for God’s sake, that this is a government of the people, by the people. The system works. You’ve just got to let it happen.”
