*Capitol Hill Meetings: You’ll meet with lawmakers and/or their staff in Senate and House office buildings. In most cases, you will meet with staff members (e.g., legislative directors, legislative assistants, etc.) who have the job of clearly articulating both your thanks and concerns to the elected representative for whom they work.
On Wednesday, proceed directly to the location of your first meeting. Citygate Network staff will be available to assist you and accompany you as requested throughout the day. Appointments should be completed by 1:15 p.m. to allow time to get to the HUD meeting at 2:00 p.m.
At the conclusion of the HUD meeting at 4:00 p.m., you’re welcome to head home—or stay a bit longer and enjoy the sights and energy of Washington, D.C. We encourage you to connect with others in our group and consider gathering for dinner if your schedule allows. You’re also welcome to schedule additional meetings on Thursday morning, should your calendar permit.
When you get home, text or email the outcomes of your Capitol Hill meetings to the Citygate Network staff. Contact info will be given at the event.
