You will need to register separately for each Town Hall event as they are shared. During this time we will go over what is going on in Washington D.C., information from the COE board meeting attended by our EOA leaders, information about Policy Seminar, continued advocacy, and Q & A.
You must be logged in as a member to register. Non-members can initiate or renew membership via the Join EOA tab on the website. Membership questions should be directed to membership@eoa.org
We hope to see you in our community!

P.S. Zoom information will be sent out just a few hours prior to the Town Hall from the Professional Development gmail account. Please RSVP to receive the information as the emails are all sent to only those who RSVP as members.
Never been to Policy Seminar? Would your program like to bring students and unsure how? Maybe you have no idea why Policy Seminar is important. Perhaps you are an experienced team leader and have been to Policy many times. Any of these ring true? Hop on Zoom on January 20th at 10 AM CST to join the Legislation and Education team, EOA leadership, and the Professional Development team to learn about the Ins and Outs of Policy Seminar which will take place at the beginning of March 8-11, 2026 in Washington DC!
If you have questions related to Policy Seminar, please bring them to this session, or, feel free to email the questions to legislation@eoa.org to have them answered during the presentation. Sending them ahead of time will allow the team to make sure they are able to find the answer....if there is one.
The Zoom link will be sent out the morning of the event from the Professional Development gmail account. Please look for the email at that time. If you did not RSVP, you will not be sent the link to join, so please RSVP to receive the link. We will discuss recording the session and share that with attendees.
