Dates: August 4th - 8th 

When you register, our Government Affairs Team will connect with you to find a day(s) that will work best with your schedule that week. Participation can be as flexible as dedicating just 1-2 hours for the entire week if that suits your availability! A full schedule will be released the first week of July! 

Activities: Visit local city halls, JP courts, meetings with county commissioners, and more.

Throughout the week, we will be engaging in a series of meetings and discussions aimed at promoting the interests and concerns of our association members.

Preparation

An issue briefing and short training webinar will be provided to prepare volunteers for the meetings, so no experience is necessary to join a team! The issue briefing will take place on July 28th, on zoom from 12:00PM - 1:00PM. All members signed up for Advocate week will be registered for the webinar.
