  • Conference Information
  • Agenda - Because of new lobbying regulations and a desire to maximize our impact on Capitol Hill, NAHU will no longer be hosting a reception for Members of Congress during Capitol Conference. However, we will be holding debriefings with conference attendees on Wednesday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. Please keep this in mind when making your travel arrangements.
  • Why You Should Attend

Capitol Hill Visits

NAHU Members are responsible for making their own appointments to meet with their legislators during the lobbying portion of Capitol Conference. Please make them between 12:30-4:00pm on Tuesday, February 5 and between 12:30-5:00pm on Wednesday, February 6. Sometimes Congressional offices will ask you for a list of priority issues to be discussed during lobbying visits, and so NAHU has updated our summary of priority issues to reflect the agenda of the 110th Congress.

Once you have made your appointments, please go to http://capwiz.com/nahu/lrm/feedback.tt?event=6781&mode=appointment and enter in your appointment details so that NAHU can keep track of the visits our members will be conducting while at the conference. If you have any questions about making your appointments, please contact Sarah Riddell at 703-276-3817.

Due to new lobbying regulations and a desire to maximize our impact on Capitol Hill, NAHU will no longer be hosting a Congressional reception during Capitol Conference.
