As one of the largest NACAC affiliates, we strive to have the largest delegation at the annual NACAC Advocacy Meeting. NACAC’s Advocacy Meeting is a 2-day experience held each year in Washington, DC. Due to COVID-19, the 2021 Annual Meeting was held virtually. The centerpiece of the discussion focused on NACAC’s Roadmap for Change. Please visit our NACAC Advocacy Day 2021 for more information on how to continue to engage in policy and advocacy actions. Check out #NACACAdvocacyWeek on social media for a peek into this year’s event! Check back on this page for our plans for the 2022 Annual Advocacy Meeting!
