Leg. Action Week

The League is excited to host Virtual Legislative Action Week on March 15-19 and we look forward to seeing all of you in this virtual setting!

Due to COVID-19 protocols at the Capitol in Tallahassee, we are unable to host our annual Legislative Action Days event in-person. So we're bringing you Virtual Legislative Action Week, a weeklong advocacy event featuring a mix of virtual live meetings, a virtual networking event and pre-recorded videos that you can watch any time.
