AFP Chapter Lobby Week 2023- October 2-6
Get ready for AFP’s third annual Chapter Lobby Week, October 2-6, 2023.
AFP Global is asking all U.S. chapters to visit at least one member of Congress and/or their staff during the week of October 2, 2023, virtually or in-person.
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.
To help you prepare, AFP has created a Q&A overview document and a comprehensive chapter toolkit that covers everything from scheduling meetings to post-Lobby Week follow-up.
