Advocates for Architecture Day: TSA 2011

Texas Society of Architects are hosting the first Advocates for Architecture Day at the Texas State Capitol.
Training will begin on Tuesday, January 25th at 9:00 am at the AT&T Conference Center/hotel (room TBD) within blocks of the Capitol. The morning will be spent learning what our issues are, how to communicate them to policymakers, and some political insight to the Legislative Session. You supply the passion for your profession and we'll supply all the basic skills, tools and information you'll need to be able to confidently approach Texas legislators and articulate the issues that affect architects statewide. Box lunch will be provided immediately following training.

After lunch, we will all meet at the Capitol (location TBD) for a group photo then we'll head down to our reserved briefing room at the Capitol (TSA's unofficial office) to pick up your materials, leave-behinds and talking points. Visits will be scheduled from 1:00 -- 4:00 pm in the afternoon. Once you're done, head back to our Capitol office to let us know how your meetings went and to fill out personal thank you notes to be sent to your legislators. We expect everyone to be done between 4-5:00 pm, at which point you can spend some time touring the Capitol or head back home, with the thanks of TSA and all Texas architects.
