It's Time Texas will be hosting a SHAC Workshop on Wednesday, November 1st, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
During this virtual workshop, we will be reviewing basic concepts of a SHAC, we will identify and learn how to apply resources to improve engagement, and we will build social connections through networking.
We will be joined by Michelle Smith with Action for Healthy Kids and Alice Kirk with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension who will be presenting and sharing their expertise on SHAC guidelines, member recruiting, and available SHAC resources.
During this time, we will also be providing the opportunity to connect with other SHAC leaders and members across the state to discuss a variety of relevant issues including family engagement, SHAC member recruitment and retention, and communicating your SHAC’s impact.

Advocating for School Health Policy through your SHAC
During this workshop, we learned about bills related to school health that are in the current Texas legislative session. We connected with fellow SHAC leaders and session participants across the state as we review these health bills and identify how they may impact school health statewide. Finally, we were introduced to new strategies to best advocate for school health policy through SHAC activities.
