• Provide a strong voice for arts inclusion education for the whole child in those discussions, in which proposed education changes take place, affecting arts education on state and national levels. This includes assistance in proactive and reactive advocacy to maintain quality arts programs.

• Provide and administer a Mentor Program for beginning arts teachers funded in part from the Iowa Legislature.
• Provide arts education information and professional development resources in areas current to member needs.
