<i>Prior to the Annual Meeting, we’ll train participants in key advocacy skills through a series of webinars. Then, on August 14th, we’ll spend the day meeting with Congressional staffers</i> in small groups to talk about specific issues in our profession pertaining
to funding, copyright, and electronic records. We are hoping to talk to legislators currently serving on committees that determine the allocation of federal arts and education budgets.</span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
