A separate email with lunch options and selections will be sent to registered participants closer to the event date.

Meeting with Legislators: The goal is to meet with at least one of your elected officials. Please note that sometimes last-minute schedule changes by the legislator’s offices can result in seeing regional leaders in lieu of your specific elected officials.

Dress Code:
As we gather for our Advocacy Day in Sacramento, please be sure to dress in business/business-casual that is both professional and comfortable. We will be doing a lot of walking, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Keep in mind that the weather in Sacramento can be unpredictable, so please come prepared for cold, rain, or shine. Layers, a coat, and an umbrella are good ideas to stay comfortable throughout Advocacy Day. We look forward to seeing you there, rain or shine!
