Webinar - Maximizing Your Hill Visit:

Get the most out of your Hill visit by viewing NASFAA’s pre-Leadership Conference Webinar “Maximizing Your Hill Visit.” During the NASFAA Leadership Conference you will have the opportunity to advocate directly with your congressional delegation on behalf of your students. It will be vital for you to come prepared, make your point, and establish yourself and your institution as an authority and knowledgeable resource on student aid topics. You can make a difference and this is your chance to be a part of Democracy in action! The Webinar focuses on the preparatory steps you should take before coming to DC to meet with your representatives, current topics and issues for you to consider, and what you should expect during your Hill visit.
