Statewide Advisory Network
Join the Conversation Shaping Education Policy in Kansas and Missouri
Aligned brings together business, education, workforce, nonprofit, civic, and community leaders to help inform policy conversations that impact students, schools, communities, and the future workforce.
Education policy works best when the right people are at the table.
As conversations around education, workforce readiness, student success, and economic growth continue to evolve, Aligned is working to bring more real-world voices into the discussion.
Each quarter, we host separate Statewide Advisory Network calls for Kansas and Missouri so each conversation can focus on the policy issues, legislative landscape, and community needs specific to that state
