      Visit your members of Congress on Capitol Hill and Share the Power of Associations message.
      Our success at American Associations Day ultimately comes down to the visits we make to congressional offices to share our collective message. Join in-person and some virtual meetings in small state groups and tell your story. These visits make it much more likely that our elected officials will stand up for us when we need them most!
