Registration Details

Attendees will be asked several questions during registration to help us best schedule small-group meetings with legislators and meet & greet opportunities. This will help us make the day most useful and meaningful for attendees. 

In order to best match attendees with the appropriate legislators prior to the event, you'll need to provide legislative district numbers, for both your nonprofit organization headquarters and for your personal address, during the registration process. For help finding those districts, visit http://azredistricting.org/districtlocator/ prior to registering.

Please note: We cannot guarantee a meeting with a certain legislator or elected official; meetings with legislators tend to change, cancel, move or reschedule at the last minute! Also, please be advised, the legislature does not have a mask or vaccination requirement for legislators, legislative staff or the public. Because of this, we cannot guarantee that legislators or legislative staff will be vaccinated or follow mask guidelines.  Alliance scheduled meetings will be held outdoors as often as possible (weather permitting). Thank you in advance for your flexibility!

If you have an accessibility accommodation need, please select the option in the registration questions with your request at least two weeks prior to the start of the event. Although we will attempt to meet all accessibility requests, late request may not be fulfilled.
