Congressional Meetings

Washington, District of Columbia

CONGRESSIONAL MEETINGS OVERVIEW

Advocacy Associates will schedule all congressional appointments on Capitol Hill for our Destination Capitol Hill participants. They will be handling all meeting arrangements based on the details provided in your registration form. If you have any existing congressional relationships that you'd like Advocacy Associates to consider when scheduling your Hill meetings, kindly include those in the designated section of your registration form.

IMPORTANT: If you are planning to participate in Hill meetings, we recommend registering for Destination Capitol Hill as soon as possible to ensure that Hill meetings can be scheduled for you. Our DCH partner, Advocacy Associates, will schedule your congressional meetings and provide a personalized schedule in the days leading up to DCH. Since securing congressional appointments can take several weeks, individuals who register within 30 days of the event are not guaranteed Hill appointments.

Please do not contact any legislative office directly regarding your appointments. We are coordinating many meetings and want to keep confusion to a minimum. We are happy to answer any questions or concerns you might have regarding the event. Please email us with your questions.

› Please Note: Scheduling Process

Both your business and home address are required to correctly identify which representatives you should meet with. Please provide both addresses on the registration form. Additionally, please be sure to note any existing congressional relationships that you would like Advocacy Associates to consider when scheduling your meetings.

Everyone participating in congressional meetings should plan to attend the DCH Program on Tuesday, April 14. We will provide a policy issue briefing, outline our key asks of Congress, review the congressional meetings mobile app (Advocacy Day), and introduce you to others from your state who will be participating in your Hill meetings. It is essential that you attend even if you have been to Capitol Hill before.

If you have not been to Capitol Hill before, do not worry. We will provide materials and a full issue briefing before you go. We also encourage you to attend the new Hill Day: First-Timer & Refresher Briefing on Tuesday, April 14, prior to the DCH Program.

Since we only have a small window of opportunity for our congressional appointments, we ask that you make every attempt to be available from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET on April 15, 2026.

› Background on Advocacy Advocates

We are once again partnering with Advocacy Associates, a trusted logistics firm that specializes in organizing Hill Days in Washington, D.C. The process of how your meetings will be arranged are as follows:

Your home and business address will be used to match you with the appropriate Representative and Senators
You will be grouped with other attendees according to district, state, then region if necessary
One week prior to the event, you will receive an email with instructions to download their app and access your schedule. This will provide you with:
- Who you are meeting with in each office
- Talking points and supplemental documents
- A map to navigate from office to office
- Bios and committee assignments for each Member
- Realtime updates via push notifications for any changes and updates
Your group can expect to have 3-6 meetings with Representatives and Senators where your home/business is located, along with other members of Congress on committees most pertinent to our legislative issues.

The time frame for our Advocacy Day is 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, however, meetings may start earlier in the day depending on the schedules of your members of Congress
