This two-day conference during legislative session includes an orientation program, seminars and trainings on understanding League positions and advocating with civility, briefings with legislative leaders in the Cabinet room of the Florida Capitol, lobbying legislators in person, members-only formal luncheons and dinners, and exciting fundraising galas with Florida leaders.
