National Coalition for Accountable Parenting

Dear Supporters and Friends,

National Coalition for Accountable Parenting (NCAP) has been busy these last few months, lobbying politicians in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Idaho to enact legislation that will allow educators to report on parental involvement in elementary schools. We’ve talked to journalists at USA Today, as well as regional parenting magazines and websites, to advocate for effective parenting.

I appreciate so many requests to speak at conferences and rallies all over the country. Your enthusiasm and involvement shows that this is an important issue and one that will only grow in the months and years ahead.

Therefore it is with a heavy heart that I must suspend most of NCAP’s activity indefinitely. I’ve been offered an incredible job opportunity in the private sector, which is nothing short of miraculous in this economy. However, when combined with my weekly columns and, more importantly, my responsibility and desire to effectively parent two incredible 11 year-old boys, I find myself faced with a difficult decision. My family and full-time work must come first, and so I’m putting NCAP on the back burner – for now.

Make no mistake – NCAP will continue. I advocate for effective parents through outreach, columns, and editorials whenever I am able. I am simply suspending face-to-face meetings with elected officials, speaking engagements at rallies and conferences, and trips to state capitals to demand that politicians put parenting first.

Perhaps in the future, I’ll have the necessary time to devote to this important cause – I certainly hope so. Until then, please don’t hesitate to contact me with/for information and support.

Sincerely,
