Registration deadline is March 7.

 SCHEDULE MEETINGS WITH LEGISLATORS

Each advocacy day participant needs to schedule an appointment with their local legislator between 1:00-3:00 pm on March 22.  Once you register for the event we will send you information on how to find your legislator and schedule a meeting. You can find your elected officials at http://cqrcengage.com/efa/StateOfficials. 

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE EVENT               

During the advocacy training, you will learn how to share your story with your legislator. We will provide you with a packet of information with the epilepsy community’s policy priorities to leave behind for each legislator. We also encourage you to write your story to share but limit it to 1 page. After the training we will break into groups for the afternoon meetings with legislators.
