ACIFA is a non-partisan organization, and its approach to government relations is to focus on post-secondary education issues and policy. ACIFA participates in policy discussions by responding to government papers, meeting with elected officials and bureaucrats, and participating in committees set up by the government. All of these activities assist policy makers in making informed decisions on post-secondary education issues. ACIFA researches information related to learning and working in Alberta’s post-secondary education sector. This work helps to inform our lobbying activities.
