Michigan AEYC members have the opportunity to participate in advocacy efforts and events organized by the Michigan AEYC Advocacy Committee. The mission of the committee is to lead efforts in voicing the importance of investing in high quality experiences for young children and elevating the early childhood profession. In partnership with the Michigan AEYC Office and other external stakeholders, the committee monitors legislation to develop advocacy resources for members to use. These resources can be used individually, or during national, state, and local events facilitated by Michigan AEYC.

The Michigan AEYC Advocacy Committee is diverse and inclusive. Members of the committee work or reside in several Michigan counties, including suburban, urban, and rural areas. The committee includes teachers, child care providers, professors, lawyers, social workers, and early childhood consultants.

Want to get involved? Michigan AEYC members receive access to register for annual advocacy events including a Legislative Luncheon or other roundtable event each fall, and the Michigan Public Policy Forum each winter/spring. Members also have the unique opportunity to engage in the NAEYC National Public Policy Forum in Washington, DC each spring as part of the Michigan team. The committee welcomes those interested in joining our early childhood advocacy efforts. Please e-mail the Michigan AEYC Advocacy Committee Chair for more information at advocacy@miaeyc.org.
