Make your voice heard by joining the Adult Family Home Council in Olympia for a day on the hill on March 30th, 2023. The AFH Council hosts an annual lobby day event every year for providers to meet with their lawmakers and discuss issues affecting Adult Family Homes. The last in person lobby day hosted by the Council was before the pandemic so we are excited to host this year’s lobby day in person!
Lobby Day Training March 29, 2023
We will be hosting a virtual lobby day training on March 29, 2023, from 11:00AM-12:30PM. This training is to help providers that want to meet with their lawmakers, prepare for their legislative meetings. During the zoom training, we will review the following:
- Tips for a Successful Legislative Meeting
- Legislative Meeting Talking Points
- Schedule, Feedback and Questions Form
If you have a meeting the morning of March 30th with your legislator, this lobby day training is required before you can attend your legislative meeting. If this applies to you, I will reach out to you. We encourage anyone who will be attending the AFH Council Lobby Day for the first time to also attend this training. Anyone else is welcome to attend but please note we will have a similar training during lobby day. Lastly, we are having this training via zoom to give providers the opportunity to practice before their legislative meetings, so please be prepared to fully participate when you attend the training.
