HEF BOARD
Special Thanks to our Board of Directors for all that they do for us and make possible, working behind the scenes for the families in Florida.
BRENDA DICKINSON
Founder, 1st Generation Lobbyist
Without HEF and Brenda, home educators would not enjoy the freedoms Florida Law provides parents to educate their own children. As Craig and Brenda pioneered home education in Florida, it became clear that a full-time lobbyist in Tallahassee was needed and HEF was created to help ensure this. Brenda and HEF safeguard existing legislation and evaluate future legislation to protect home education in FL.

If you know and love the Home Education Foundation, and the work Brenda has done over the many years lobbying, and you want to continue to support the lobbying directly, you can do that by donating to HEF directly via PayPal.
It is imperative to maintain a full-time lobbyist in the capitol.
