Advocacy is defined as the act or process of advocating or supporting a cause or proposal.

There are a lot of issues fighting for attention in our schools, colleges, and universities. Because everyone on the AzAHPERD Governing Board is also a working professional, we understand the pressures that take our focus away from advancing the health and well-being of the students we serve. However, if we don't take personal resposnsibility for advancing a cause that effects every family in our state - who will? If we don't take personal responsibility for our program growth and professional development - who will?
