2021 advocacy impact day – tuesday, march 9th 1pm – 3:30pm
given the current conditions and uncertainty as a result of covid-19 and keeping our members health and safety top of mind, we’ve decided to convert the capitol hill fly-in into a one-day virtual event called advocacy impact day, which will be held on tuesday, march 9th from 1pm to 3:30pm. while we’re all disappointed that we’ll not be able to meet in person, we will use this opportunity to elevate the event not only by making it more accessible than ever, but also by incorporating a more robust program.
please feel free to share with your irem colleagues so they can join this exciting and dynamic event!
