the hectic pace on Capitol Hill, sometimes it’s all you can
do to just get legislators to pay attention. Whether you're
attending Museums Advocacy Day in person, wondering how you can
participate even if you can’t come to Washington, DC, or just
want to become a better advocate, this is the session for
you. Our AAM Washington staff and outside expert will
outline the details of advocacy day and will share a few
"insider" secrets for effective communication with
elected officials. We'll discuss federal policy issues that may
impact museums across the country -- and what we can do
to ensure that our representatives are ready to take positive
action on our behalf.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
