National Coalition for Homeless Veterans Conference

From the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans website:
"NCHV will host its 13th Annual Conference May 20-22. Headquarters for the conference will be the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, 2799 Jefferson Davis Highway, in Arlington, VA, just outside of Washington, D.C.

The NCHV Annual Conference is an opportunity for service providers to access knowledge, training and experience to increase the effectiveness of their organizations in assisting homeless veterans.
View the Conference Brochure here.

Capitol Hill visits: Time is set aside on Thursday, May 21 from 1:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for you to arrange visits with your representatives in Congress to discuss issues and legislation affecting homeless veterans. For information on how to set up meetings with your representatives, click here".

Now, the cost of this conference might be a little spendy to some of us (but I supposes that's the trade-off of meeting where you might actually connect with federal public official); it might be just the thing for networking and learning. The group certainly seems to have its heart in the right place and a good group to check out. Its "Meeting With Your Congressional Representatives" pages has good advice that transcends this particular event.
