2026 Legislative Agenda Process Open

We’re excited to announce that the Alliance is now accepting applications for our 2026 Legislative Agenda.

The Alliance’s annual Legislative Agenda is crafted in partnership with early childhood organizations that are advancing policy solutions through the legislative process.

The Alliance’s Steering Committee invites proposals by organizations for consideration during the Agenda-setting process. Issues that are selected will make up the 2026 Legislative Agenda. The proposing organization will be established as the “lead organization” on legislative and advocacy strategy.

Visit the Alliance website to download the following documents and see the process timeline:

The deadline for submissions is Friday, September 12, at 12:00 pm. 

Alliance staff and Steering Committee members are available to help applicants with questions throughout the process. If you would prefer to submit this application verbally or through an alternative format, we would be happy to accommodate. For more information or assistance, contact Matt Levin, Alliance Executive Director, at 802-229-4281 or matt@vecaa.org.

 

The Vermont Early Childhood Advocacy Alliance is a statewide coalition formed in 2000 of early childhood professionals, parents, organizations, businesses, and strategic partners committed to improving public policies that impact young children between birth and age eight in the areas of health, safety, food security, economic security, and early care and education.

The Alliance crafts an annual Legislative Agenda in partnership with early childhood organizations, provides year-round advocacy support, and facilitates meaningful interactions with policymakers at key times during the decision making process.
