Conference delegates received an email on setting up appointments and coordinating meetings with fellow attendees that included contact information for the education staff for your Representatives and Senators. Once you have set your appointments, please email Anthea Jeffrey of the COHEAO Board of Directors or Greg Marak of the COHEAO staff. If you are interested in being paired with a more experienced attendee, please contact Anthea Jeffrey or Greg Marak.
As appointments are secured, please be sure to forward the information to Anthea Jeffrey. On behalf of COHEAO, Anthea is putting together a master calendar of appointments by group that will be available at the annual meeting.
