2021 advocacy impact day
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. 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!
