Are you interested in being a part of Shape Up but have some questions? Read the Q&A below.
Why participate?
Decisions that are made by legislators affect our jobs, budgets, and our students. This is our one opportunity to speak directly with the men and women that make those decisions. We need volunteers who are passionate about our work and our students.
What would I need to do?
We will drive down to Springfield the night before and meet to brief you on the next day. The committee will assign you a specific job taking into consideration your talents and your comfort level with talking to legislators. Responsibilities may include behind the scenes set up and organization, performing health screenings, greeting visitors, and traveling to legislative offices to meet with Senators and State Representatives. We head for the capitol building in the morning and will begin our day around 8 AM. We should finish and break down to leave by noon with lunch to follow back at the hotel.
What will it cost me?
IAHPERD will reimburse you for mileage, hotel room, and will provide snacks the night before, breakfast in the morning, and lunch in the afternoon. The only thing that you would need to do is to get a substitute for the day.
