Why Join SAMLN?
The purpose of the SAM Legislative Network is to foster effective communication between SAM leadership, its members, and legislators. SAMLN members provide a direct link between the concerns of school administrators statewide and SAM’s representation in Helena, ensuring that every region’s voice is heard.
Who Makes Up SAMLN?
SAMLN is designed to be representative of SAM’s diverse membership, with a regional representative from each of our six SAM affiliates: MASS, MAEMSP, MASSP, MACSS, MCASE, and META. With this structure, we achieve a statewide reach, and our members are equipped to address and advocate for the specific issues impacting every corner of Montana.
What Will You Do as a SAMLN Member?
As part of the SAMLN, members play an active role in our legislative efforts by:
Reviewing requests and updates from the SAM Executive Director or SAM Delegate Assembly Steering Committee.
Collecting and communicating feedback from your region, ensuring local concerns are passed onto SAM leadership.
Leading regional responses during critical moments, such as coordinating "Calls to Action" to reach out to legislators.
Working with representatives from your region to testify in Helena at pivotal points during the session, advocating for the issues that matter most to Montana’s schools.
Why Your Voice Matters?
The issues impacting our schools, from funding and special education to student mental health, need advocates who understand the unique challenges faced by administrators in Montana. By joining the SAMLN, you contribute to a proactive, unified voice for education across the state.
