NAMM Music Education Advocacy Hill Day

A Note About Hill Day

This is not our regular Fly-In! Hill Day takes us back to our advocacy roots with a no-frills, get-down-to business advocacy blitz.NAMM staff and policy experts will provide support in scheduling meetings and will provide self-paced virtual training. NAMM will provide all materials, information packets, and a detailed "ask" for federal action in support of music education in schools. Advocates attending Hill Day in person are responsible for their own travel related expenses (transportation, housing, meals).
