Save the Date for 2025 Advocacy in Action Conference
September 17-19, 2025Â |Â Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill, Washington D.C.
The Advocacy in Action Conference provides in-depth information that ESAs leaders need to equip them for their advocacy both in DC and back home.
AESA's legislative advocacy team connects participants with experts on the legislative topics that affect educational service agencies and the school districts that they serve.  Participants receive up-to-the-minute information about emerging and pending federal legislative issues.
There is time built into the schedule for ESA leaders to plan their visits to Capitol Hill so that they can personally advocate to their federal legislators on issues important to them.
