Re: 2017 FIRST National Advocacy Conference

The National Advocacy Conference provides all of the information and training participants need to speak confidently and knowledgeably to lawmakers. No prior experience is required. Our team has participated for several years and the students always report that it is one of the most memorable experiences that they have. How often do you have the chance to tell your US senator in person what is important to you?

In addition to the NAC experience itself, our students brought home the lessons they learned and applied them at the state level. After two years of work, they were able to help get a bill passed and signed into law. Amazing. (In case you are curious, you can see information about the bill here)

The National Advocacy Conference is a permanent part of our team calendar now-- a "can't miss event." I'm really looking forward to returning in 2017 and highly recommend it to other teams.
