Questions2012 Spring Meeting—Thursday, March 29
The day begins with a morning kickoff meeting—at the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Room 106—where attendees can hear from NWP's key supporters and prepare for the day's meetings. Participants who did not pick up materials at Wednesday's planning session can get materials here.
From 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., participants will make their personal visits to congressional offices to talk about the work of the Writing Project and the impact it has on teachers and students. The day closes with an evening reception at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, in room Capitol A, Lobby Level; a chance to mix and mingle with Writing Project colleagues from around the country.
If participants have questions for NWP staff during this time, they can visit the participant support office at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill or call a dedicated phone number that will be announced at the meeting.
Essential Information for Capitol Hill Visits
Participants should make their appointments with House and Senate offices well in advance. Please schedule intervals of 45 minutes to one hour between appointments to allow for travel. The resources below provide guidance for making appointments.
Senate visits must be coordinated with other participants from your state. Please communicate with other sites in your state to schedule a single visit to each senator's office.
