2017 FIRST National Advocacy Conference

[Larry Lewis]

Hello Everyone!

Are you interested in getting more awareness and support for FIRST in the U.S.A.?
Do you want to know how to hold our elected officials accountable?
Would you like to know what you can do to make a difference for every student in the U.S.?

If any of this interests you, then the 2017 National Advocacy Conference can help you reach those goals.

The 2017 National Advocacy Conference will take place on June 25, 26, 27th at the Holiday Inn Capitol Hotel in Washington, DC. We will train you and send you out to meet with your Representatives and Senators. No previous advocacy experience is needed! We focus on building relationships with your elected officials and growing FIRST!

The cost to attend is $250 per person through 5/16/2017 and then $280 per person after that. Space is limited so make sure to register as soon as you can!

We NEED your help to be heard! The more states and more teams we have represented, the more Congress will take FIRST seriously, and the more they will listen to our desire to promote STEM opportunities for kids all across America!
