Join NAMI Washington members from across the state for our annual
lobby day in Olympia. NAMI members and supporters are the most
effective people to educate legislators about mental illness and the
need to change our current "mental illness" system to a "mental
health" system. Our lobby day will include a morning breakfast and
issues update and advocacy skills training. We will send you off to
your legislative appointments with lunch in hand as you depart for the
Capitol Campus. Schedule 8:30 - 9:00 AM: Arrival and continental
breakfast 9:00 - 10:30 AM: Welcome, Legislative Issues, and Advocacy
Skills 10:45- 4:00 PM: Legislative Visits Scheduling Legislative
Appointments Scheduling Legislative Appointments We ask that all
attendees work with the local NAMI Affiliate to schedule their
legislative appointments. Please note that our morning session will
include information about NAMI Washington's legislative priority
bills, and you will also pick up materials for your legislators. NAMI
Affiliate Leaders should try to schedule appointments for no earlier
than 10:45 AM. There are some affiliates which share legislators -
if you know your legislative district is shared with another affiliate
it would be helpful to collaborate when scheduling your
appointments. NAMI Washington staff will help with this.
