The Atlanta Chapter of ASHRAE is planning its second Day on the Hill on Tuesday, February 20, 2018, during National Engineers Week. Volunteers will visit the Georgia State Capitol to meet with their legislators, specifically those on committees relevant to the built environment, to discuss how ASHRAE can be a resource for them. Rep. Lynn Smith, Chairperson of the National Resources and Environment Committee in the House, recently said that legislators don’t want a “Vote yes!” or “Vote no!” message; they want information and knowledge from their constituents.
8:00 am - 9:30 am - Advocacy training - learn everything you need to know about advocacy and ASHRAE. You'll be an expert by the time we walk to the Capitol. Coffee and donuts will be provided. AIA-Georgia is providing their conference room on the 8th floor of the Hurt Building (50 Hurt Plaza, downtown) to simplify our logistics. See below for directions. We will walk from the Hurt Building to the Capitol at 9:30 am.
10:00 am - photo op with Governor Deal and Proclamation of National Engineer's Week
10:30 am - 11:30 am - visit your senator and representative with ASHRAE handouts
