Join the Movement: Register Now for the 2024 Advocacy in Action Conference in DC

Registration is now open for the annual Advocacy in Action Conference, set to take place from September 25-27, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Our time together promises to inspire, educate, and empower educational advocates to drive meaningful change. 

 

Why Attend? 

  • Expert Speakers: Hear from leading voices in advocacy on the legislative topics that affect educational service agencies and the school districts they serve. 

  • Networking Opportunities: Connect with fellow advocates to expand your professional network and collaborate on important issues. 

  • Capitol Hill Visits: Time is built into the schedule for ESA leaders to plan their visits to Capitol Hill so that they can personally advocate to their federal legislators on issues important to them. 

Join us for an inspiring and transformative event. Together, we can amplify our voices and drive the change we wish to see in the world.
