*You will visit one or two legislative offices with a small group of other advocates. We will try to arrange it so that you visit the offices of legislators representing your home or work district, or another community to which you have a strong connection. However, depending upon the availability of legislators and their staff, as well as the number of participants from your district, we may need to ask you to visit another office. Either way, your voice will make an impact!
We will offer an optional pre-conference webinar to help you prepare for School Health Day at the Capitol. The webinar will be held twice to allow as many people as possible to join: dates and times are TBD. Detailed information about the webinar and how to register will be available in early January.
