Advocacy for Early Childhood Issues
OHSA's advocacy activities are important part of OHSA being a leader and a politically powerful voice in early childhood issues at the state and national level. OHSA employs professional staff to help develop an annual legislative platform and support legislation for the constituency served by the Association. OHSA's efforts on the state level have resulted in state funding being higher than federal, allowing us to serve more families in need. OSHA has an active advocacy network with almost 1948 members.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2022 – Dec 31, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$133KTraining and Development for Head Start
