Advocacy Days 2009!
Advocacy Day offers a way for you to learn about the legislative process in person. It’s a tool kit for learning how to make a difference!
What to Expect
Advocacy Day begins at 10:00am on Wednesdays during the legislative session. We start the day with an hour and a half briefing on current issues and end with an afternoon of advocacy (about 3:00 p.m.). While we feature a highlighted topic each week, the morning briefing will also cover late breaking news on budget items and bills of interest relating to individuals with developmental disabilities.
