New Award this Year at Day on the Hill
This year we have established a new award to highlight the awesome work that our Key Advocates are doing around the state. During the awards ceremony we will be giving one of our Key Advocates the Key Advocate of the Year Award! Be sure to join us next Thursday (March 25), at the capitol to celebrate the great work of this year’s recipient!
