Educating the next generation of advocates is core to our values as a profession and chapter. Each year, we host our annual Legislative Education & Advocacy Day (LEAD) which brings together hundreds of social work students and professionals from across the state.
LEAD is designed to further social workers’ knowledge of the legislative process, grassroots advocacy, and major current statewide policy initiatives. Attendees hear from an array of passionate speakers from elected officials, the government sector, community organizers, and advocates.
As this event does require a lot of staff planning with elected officials and the time of our contract lobbyists, there is a slight fee to cover expenses of the day and secure your attendance. Additionally, snacks and refreshments will be provided throughout the day.
As we are planing meetings with elected officials to discuss our legislative agenda, we do expect you to arrive and attend meetings based on your ticketed registration.
