Advocacy Briefing

Tuesday, June 2, 2015

10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.: Advocacy Briefing (for conference participants only)

We will review talking points for national legislative initiatives in Congress and distribute fact sheets and leave-behinds. There will be webinars in advance of the conference to acquaint you with the issues, the new conference app, and help you plan for appointments with your elected representatives. Think of this as a quick "Advocacy Day Kick-Off."

11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.: Regional Policy Council Meeting for affiliates from the Northeast Region (by invitation only)

Plan to attend this event if you're part of the staff of an affiliate on the East Coast. This is a working meeting.

Hill Visits

You will want to make your way to Capitol Hill to meet with your elected representatives on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Extra cabs will be available outside of the Hilton Mark Center. You can take the hotel shuttle to the Pentagon City metro station and ride the subway to the Capitol, but make sure you leave plenty of time. 

The best time for Hill Visits is after 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday or Wednesday morning before 11:00 a.m. Affiliates should plan to be back by 11:00 a.m. Wednesday.
