Invite her to speak to an organization in your area by contacting CCSSO, which administrators the National Teacher of the Year, using a form on their website: https://fs17formsite.com/ccssowebmaster/form86/index.html. We at PCC4Refugees have been strongly supporting this inspiring teacher/advocate for the past year, including at a special event in Washington, DC, in October.
