Event and Training

Virtual Advocacy Day will be on February 18. Please block your calendar for the entire day 9 am – 5 pm in your time zone.

The Welcome Session will include a warm greeting from Members of Congress. This pre-recorded video will be available several days prior to Advocacy Day so you may watch at your convenience.

Training: Each advocate will be required to attend one training session in addition to your State Team Prep Call. This year, training options are based on experience and optional training sessions are offered to help prepare you for the role you will play in the Advocacy Day meetings.

A complete list of the training schedule and descriptions are on the Center for Lyme Action event page and training registration links will be sent after you complete your registration.
