LeadingAge Ohio Advocacy Day at the Statehouse
Ohio Statehouse Atrium
The Ohio General Assembly needs to hear from you this budget season!
LeadingAge Ohio’s Advocacy Day on April 1 is the only grassroots event this budget season where aging service providers can come together to share their stories with Ohio’s lawmakers. Structured for both seasoned and new advocates, the day will include an issues brief in the morning, legislator visits, lunch with legislators and a panel of policymakers, statehouse tours, and opportunities to meet other leaders in the aging network. Attendees may also take advantage of training opportunities on issue messaging and the do’s and don’ts of meeting with legislators prior to Advocacy Day.
This is the opportunity for LeadingAge Ohio members to make an impact and have our voices heard. The bigger our crowd, the bigger impact our voices will have. Bring members of your team for an empowering day of advocacy on April 1.
