ACE provides all attendees with background and leave-behind materials for each meeting, and we'll prep you in advance with material previews and a pre-event webinar. Stay tuned for information on when this will occur.
The DC fly-in is designed to provide each individual with a valuable experience; from those who have never been to the Hill, to veterans who've traveled every hallway. ACE will tailor meetings to each person to make sure your voice is used effectively.
