Illinois Statewide School Management Alliance

Established in the Spring of 1993, the Illinois Statewide School Management Alliance was created by the executive directors of the four statewide educational management associations – Illinois Principals Association, Illinois Association of School Administrators, Illinois Association of School Boards, and the Illinois Association of School Business Officials - to work jointly on legislative efforts.

The Alliance structure allows the four associations to not only pool their resources and personnel, but to pool their respective expertise to present strong unified positions on education issues before the Illinois General Assembly and Governor. Through the Alliance, the associations testify at committee hearings, support education initiatives, and present positions to the General Assembly.

For more information on how you can take an active role in Alliance activity, contact Alison Mormino at 217-525-1383.
