Advocacy Day Registration Form
Parking and Directions Info
The Alzheimer Association Advocacy Day begins with all advocates meeting in the morning to pick up materials, schedules, hear from Chapter leadership and review what to do when visiting your elected officials.
We will make the appointments with your legislators for you. Please plan to stay the entire day (9 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.). You will visit your three elected officials (or their legislative aides) and possibly more. We will do our best to try to pair you with another advocate so that you do not go alone. Appointments can change last minute.
Please register by February 22nd. Please complete the bottom half of this form and return to the Chapter by fax, mail or email.
Arrive Early to Park! Taking the DASH shuttle service from the park and ride lots are the best way to get to the Capitol. BRING SMALL BILLS/CASH--the pay lot machines do not give change. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk outdoors in between your appointments.
- PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN LUNCH, as the cafeteria in the Pritchard Building is CLOSED and being renovated. We will set-up camp all day in the Senate Hearing Room #3, located in the Cherberg Building.
- Preparing for Advocacy Day. Materials will be forwarded to you in advance by email to help you prepare for the day. On Advocacy Day you will be given “leave behind” packets for your elected officials. The packets will have information about Alzheimer’s disease, the Alzheimer’s Association and our legislative priorities.
