Hill Day will occur as part of the Washington Conference on Wednesday, April 10. NAHRO has partnered with Advocacy Associates, a logistics firm that specializes in Advocacy Day project management. Advocacy Associates will schedule congressional meetings on behalf of NAHRO conference registrants who opt-in to participate. This is a free, optional service. Your conference registration confirmation will contain a link for an online registration form to participate in Hill Day and to have congressional meetings scheduled on your behalf.
