AEFL Week
Flood the Hill!
Registration Form
OVERVIEW
NAFTAE advocates are invited to join us in Washington, D.C., for a unique opportunity to meet directly with federal lawmakers and elevate the voice of adult education. This is a powerful chance for NAFTAE advocates to build relationships with elected officials and showcase the impact of their work at the national level.
When possible, participants are encouraged to bring outstanding learners and workforce partners to Capitol Hill for meetings with legislators. While this activity is not funded by NAFTAE, the organization will provide meals and other support on Wednesday evening, Thursday morning, and Thursday evening.
Thursday 9/17
is our day to Flood the Hill!
We’ll kick off with a breakfast featuring legislative champions and end the day by gathering over dinner to reflect on the meetings and share successes. Please plan to arrive in D.C. by 3:00 PM ET on Wednesday 9/16 and stay through 9:00 PM ET on Thursday 9/17.
Please Note: NAFTAE will schedule all legislative meetings.
Please send questions to info@NAFTAE.org.
Deadline to register is July 24, 2026.
Vendor partnership is exclusive to Essential Ed.
