Welcome to the NADE Political Advocacy Website


Today’s political climate necessitates that we become involved in the conversations regarding teaching and learning, student retention, educational opportunity, and developmental education.  It is important to be knowledgeable and prepared for these discussions with public decision makers.

The purpose of the NADE Political Liaison Committee is to keep membership informed on current national policy issues and action that affect developmental education.  Please utilize this resource and help the NADE Political Liaison Committee forge new partnerships and convince legislators that Developmental Education is a critical element in higher education. If you would like to learn more about the NADE Political Liason Committee or find out how you can participate please contact us.
