More details
From budget cuts to financial aid issues, the students we work with this year face difficult decisions as they weigh college options. Additionally, the very same issues may be surfacing at the institutions where we work. As the economic condition of the State of Iowa continues to change, there is no better time than now to speak with our elected officials.
Join the Iowa ACAC and ISCA Government Relations Committees in addressing the important issues that are so critical to our organization, our institutions and, most importantly, the students we serve. During Visit the Hill, participants are provided the necessary training and information to help lobby for issues critical to the interests of students transitioning to college. After lunch, with other attendees and legislators, the group will head to the State Capitol to lobby with their state representative and senator.
Events for Visit the Hill will be at Quality Inn & Suites Event Center in Des Moines. A block of rooms have been set aside for participants at a rate of $89.95 per night. Reserve your room by contacting the hotel directly at (515)282-5851.
Participation in Visit the Hill is free. This is your chance to be heard.
Registration is now open online here . More details and the agenda are here.
