National Conference on Public Employee Retirement Systems

The Voice for Public Pensions

About Policy Day

The NCPERS Legislative Conference Policy Day is a vital opportunity for members to engage directly with lawmakers, advocate for retirement security, and shape public policy discussions on Capitol Hill. Attendees will meet with congressional representatives and their staff to ensure that the voices of public pension stakeholders are heard, building new relationships or strengthening existing ones on Capitol Hill.
 



FEE TO ATTEND

For just $100, you can participate in this exclusive event, which includes breakfast, lunch, and a reception at one of Washington, D.C.’s iconic restaurants on the Hill.

 

MEETINGS WITH CONGRESS

Date: Wednesday, January 29, 2025
Location: Capitol Hill, Washington, D.C.

NCPERS will schedule and manage your congressional meetings, allowing you to focus entirely on your advocacy efforts. Final meeting schedules will be sent to attendees one week before the event, as congressional offices typically confirm appointments closer to the date. Please do not schedule your own meetings, as this could conflict with the coordinated schedule and disrupt the overall group advocacy strategy.

 

PREP FOR POLICY DAY

An orientation session will be held during the Legislative Conference on Tuesday, January 28. During this session, you'll receive the tools you need for successful advocacy visits, including a briefing on the 2025 Legislative Issues Book, key talking points, and guidance on communicating effectively with lawmakers.
