AFP Chapter Advocacy Week

Get ready for AFP’s annual Chapter Advocacy Week, August 3-7, 2026

AFP Global is asking all U.S. chapters to visit at least one member of Congress and/or their staff during the week of August 3, virtually or in-person. We particularly encourage you to meet with your Senators this time. We encourage all chapters to have a government relations chair or other board member in place who can help lead this effort on the chapter level.
