Capitol Hill Meetings Overview
Although meeting with an elected official may seem intimidating, we’re confident the experience will be much more relaxed than you anticipate. When elected, congressional leaders commit to engaging with their constituents, and these meetings help them understand which legislation matters most to the public.
You’ll either meet with the member of Congress themselves or a member of their staff. During the meeting, you’ll present the key points reviewed on day one, explain why the legislation is important to you and your patients, and address any questions they might have. The meeting will typically last between 15 to 20 minutes.
Meetings may be scheduled at any time from 9 a.m.– 3 p.m. on Tuesday, October 28, 2025. Please ensure that your travel plans allow you to attend Capitol Hill meetings that end as late as 3:00 PM.
We expect nearly all congressional meetings to be held in-person on Capitol Hill during the Advocacy Summit. Should one of your congressional meetings be virtual, we will assist so that you may attend the meeting virtually.
