We learn about key legislation and messaging on Monday and then walk to appointments on the Hill on Tuesday. Nobody goes it alone – we go as a group. If we don’t deliver the message, who will? It is so important. Please join us. There is strength in numbers, plus it is fun! Join us for dinner on Monday, then walk with us to Capitol Hill on Tuesday - we hope to have two large delegations from Virginia and Maryland this year!
