Date Posted: 2/08/2013 | Author: Jennifer Mitchell, CAE
Don’t forget that ATPE’s Political Involvement Training and Lobby Day will take place this Sunday and Monday (Feb. 10-11) at the Hilton Austin Downtown and the Texas State Capitol. The two-day event will feature hands-on political involvement training on the first day, followed by face-to-face meetings with your legislators on the second day. Attending Lobby Day is a great way to build relationships with the elected officials in charge of making decisions that affect your day-to-day working environment. Registration will be available on-site and is open to all ATPE members. See you there!
