2022 Legislative Learning Lab
February 2, 2022 - February 7, 2022
In 2021 we introduced an additional opportunity for advocates to get an in-depth look at the legislative process. This is the training that most legislators should get but often don’t receive. We had overwhelmingly positive feedback from this event, and this will continue to be our bigger and better legislative learning opportunity for supporters of child advocacy.
