NAMM invites all NAMM Members to participate in the 2012 Advocacy Fly-In for Music Education March 26- 28, 2012. The Advocacy Fly-In 2012 continues NAMM’s core advocacy efforts about the importance of music education for every child and promotes legislation that advances access to music education for all children.
All Fly-In delegates will be asked to contact Members of Congress in the weeks before March 26 to schedule meetings with Members of Congress (MOCs) or their staff.
The schedule for the 2012 NAMM Advocacy Fly-In for Music Education:
As an Advocacy Fly-In delegate, NAMM provides up to three (3) nights hotel accommodations and meals, starting with dinner on March 26 through breakfast on March 29. Fly-In participants are responsible for round-trip travel to Washington and ground transportation to and from the hotel. Due to a considerable increase in hotel and meal costs in Washington, a $400 registration fee is requested. Should you not need a hotel room or a family member/guest will be traveling with you, $200 per person is requested to help cover the cost of shared meals. Please see note below concerning family members/guests. The Advocacy Fly-In hotel is Hotel Monaco http://www.kimptonhotels.com/hotels/factsheets/hotel-monaco-washington-dc/
