Meeting Options
Congressional Office Visit
As in years past when we could walk the halls of congress and visit offices with unlimited attendees, while the congressional offices have re-opened to visits, some are limiting the numbers, so depending on the specifics of the office, we will be assigning as many attendees as possible based on your congressional districts. Be sure to include your district information on your registration.
Reception/Lunch Invitations
Based on our prior success with inviting members of Congress and agencies to join us for an extended reception/lunch (11:30 am–2 pm), this will be our fourth reception. The stteng allows for members to visit with us in a relaxed settng away from the confines of their offices while still allowing the representative(s) to address our whole group.
