Meeting Options
Congressional Office Visit
As in years past where we could walk the halls of congress and visit offices with unlimited attendees, the offices have re-opened to visits yet some are limiting the numbers, so depending on the specifics of the office, we will be assigning attendees based on your congressional districts.
Reception/Lunch Invitations
Based on our prior success with inviting members of Congress to join us for an extended reception/lunch (11:30 a.m.–2 p.m.), this will be our third reception. The setting allows for members to visit with us in a relaxed setting away from the confines of their offices while still allowing the representative to address our whole group.
