We are excited to announce the date for Legislative Day at the Capitol is February 13th.
The purpose of this event will be targeted, one- on- one meetings with legislators at the Capitol to discuss specific disability issues. This event is purposely held on a different day than Disability Day in order to better support advocates. Advocates will be asked to make individual appointments with legislators for the 13th and will be given materials before their meeting in order to be best prepared.
Trainings will be held by conference call on January 23rd and February 6th at both 11:00am and 7:00pm. Participants are strongly encouraged to participate on calls on both days but may choose the time that is best for them. The calls will last approximately 30 minutes.
Please contact rita@aadd.org to register by December 21st.We piloted this event last year and now are ready to offer it to a larger group of participants. We will take the first 50 participants to respond. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to have an impact with others at our state capitol.
