OR

You can join other concerned parents and educators throughout Illinois who are donating $5.00 (or more) to support the services of an experienced policy advisor who is working with IAGC to make our presence known in Springfield.

He has been working eagerly with IAGC to help us restore gifted education in Illinois School Code and funding by:

• working with us to develop our message
• scheduling meetings with key legislators and others in state government
• regularly informing us of hearings and letting us know when our presence is needed
• being a visible presence in Springfield
• regularly reporting to IAGC on issues in the legislature that relate to gifted education.

IAGC needs to raise $5,000 to support this initiative from now through December. If each member contributes $5.00, we will have that amount.

Please help us make this investment in restoring gifted education language and funding in Illinois.

Send your check to the IAGC office address shown below. Note policy advisor in the memo section.

Thanks,
