Please join us for Minnesota’s first-ever Broadband Day on the Hill. Your participation is vital. This is <br />your chance to meet directly with legislators, share your stories about the importance of broadband to <br />economic vitality and quality of life – especially in rural areas – and address the need for broadband <br />investments. We are planning a full day of activities to ensure that you will feel confident and well <br />prepared to meet your representatives, satisfied that your time and energy were well spent, more <br />connected with fellow advocates, and inspired to keep working. The Coalition will help arrange <br />individual visits with your legislators. <br /> <br />Interested? <br /> <br />Please register in advance to help us plan for food and help to connect you with your legislators. The <br />registration fee is $45 per participant, which includes continental breakfast, boxed lunch, and reception <br />refreshments. <br /> <br />Where? <br />State Office Building <br />100 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard. <br />Room 500 N <br />Saint Paul, Minnesota 55155 <br /> <br />When? <br />March 15, 2017 (8:30 start – reception at 5:00) <br /> <br />DAY-AT-A-GLANCE <br /> 8:30 – Gather and Coffee <br /> 9:00 – Welcome and overview of the day <br /> 9:15 – Broadband Legislative Issues Panel. <br /> 10:00 – Press Conference <br /> 10:20 – Lobbying Orientation and Tips <br /> 11:00 – Legislative Office Visits begin <br /> 12:00 – Box lunches available and social media activity <br /> 1:00 – Miller’s Committee in the Senate <br /> 3:00 – Garofalo’s committee in the House <br /> 5:00 – Reception <br />Dawn Espe <br />Regional Development Planner <br />Region Five Development Commission <br />& affiliate 501c3 North Central Economic Development Association <br />200 1st Street NE, Suite 2 <br />Staples, MN 56479 <br />Office: 218-894-3233 x3 <br />Cell: 320-492-6335 <br />www.regionfive.org <br />www.northcentraleda.org <br />www.resilientregion.org
