Description

Annually, we come together for an advocacy trip to the State Capitol in Tallahassee, open to all individuals, organizations and leaders interested in shaping a positive future for Florida’s Space Coast! 

This two-day trip includes the opportunity to hear from state policymakers and key individuals in the legislative process. Attendees will also have an opportunity to tour various Tallahassee landmarks and witness the legislature in action. The trip also includes participation in the Brevard Day festivities.

Seats are limited (50 total) and include transportation via charter bus, most meals, hotel accommodations, meetings, and admission to the Brevard Day events. Meeting attendance (without bus transportation or lodging) is also available. And with only one hotel room left, we've added a meeting/bus option as well.
