Hit the Hill Day - Hartford

Please join us on March 17, 2010 at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford for the CATA's Annual Lobby Day with the Connecticut General Assembly. We will be lobbying in support of proposed legislation related to concussion management, and continuing to get to know our legislators and furthering their understanding of what we do. We will be there all morning, but only need about an hour or less of your time. Students are welcome!
Judy Pulice, the NATA National Manager of State Government Affairs, Ethics, & State Leadership will be joining us this year. This is a tremendous opportunity to learn more about the legislative initiatives of both the CATA and NATA, and how you can get involved!
