2009- 2010 Government Relations Workshops

October 8 – 10, 2009

February 4 – 6, 2010

June 20 – 22, 2010

Washington, DC

 

The 2009- 2010 Government Relations Workshop series hosted by the International Reading Association  in Washington, D.C., will help you strengthen your advocacy efforts and the latest changes and regulations impacting education. You will learn about federal and state legislative issues and have the opportunity to directly communicate with your congressional leaders or their staffs.

 

This is a no cost workshop for IRA members hosted by IRA’s Washington Office and the Government Relations Committee. We will provide a breakfast and working lunch on Friday.  All other related expenses (transportation, lodging, food, and entertainment) are the responsibility of the workshop attendees. Many participants receive funding from their state councils to help pay for costs. We have not blocked a group of rooms because many of you found cheaper rooms on the Internet.

 

Feel free to call the IRA Washington office with questions regarding the workshop at 202-624-8800 or irawash@reading.org.  Updates for the Workshop will be posted on the website at: www.reading.org. We look forward to seeing you at any or all of the Workshops.
