WNA will schedule legislator visits for all participants. WNA will post a link to this listing HERE once all appointments are confirmed.  Please check back on Tuesday, February 25, 2025 for the listing of legislator visits, things will continue to be updated and/or changed.

How it works:

• You will identify the names and District #s of your legislators on your registration form, this will be listed on your name tag for a reminder.
• WNA will attempt to schedule meeting times with all of our registrants' identified legislators - meetings may take place at the Capitol or at Monona Terrace depending on the size of the registrant group for that legislator.
• It is your responsibility to check that google.doc to see if there is a meeting scheduled with your identified legislators and SHOW UP for the meeting - WNA will provide each legislator with a list of registrants expected to attend the meeting. If you cannot attend your scheduled meeting, please INFORM WNA staff.
• The google.doc will list each Senator (and district number) with the location/time of the meeting, along with their corresponding Assembly Representative (and district number) location/time. If you don't remember who you choose on your registration form, it will also be on your name tag.

ATTIRE: Business casual – you will be meeting with legislators.

Lunch is on your own 
Here is a listing of a few restaurants located on the square.
Keep close, you don't want to be late to your legislator visit!

Certificates of Attendance will be issued only to those participants who complete their scheduled visit(s) with legislators and turn in a completed paper 'Report' of  their meeting(s) at the debriefing station at the Capitol (or Monona Terrace) before leaving.  Certificates of Attendance will not be awarded for attending the morning educational sessions only.
