<h1><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; color:black;">Upcoming Mock Meeting Sessions</span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">There are only two weeks left until the start of the 2026 Washington Seminar. Here in Baltimore, we are feverishly working to get everything ready to ensure our week on Capitol Hill goes smoothly and makes an impact. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;">As part of that effort, our final two Zoom training sessions for all Washington Seminar participants will be held this week. Both trainings will be mock meeting sessions that will demonstrate some effective strategies for how to conduct your meetings with members of Congress, and we urge you to attend both sessions. </span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;"><strong>Session 1</strong>: Tuesday, January 13, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color:black;"><strong>Session 2</strong>: Thursday, January 15, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern </span></li>
