Webinar Description

This webinar is the first of two targeted to the attendees of AACN’s 2018 Student Policy Summit, but is open to everyone at AACN member schools. Understanding civics is vital to being a thoughtful and meaningful contributor to the federal policy process. Our speaker will review the federal government structure, agenda setting, and how a bill gains support toward becoming a law. This content is important as students prepare for their trip to Washington, DC to represent their schools, fellow students, and the nursing profession.

Be sure to also attend the second informational webinar: Preparing for a Successful Student Policy Summit to be held on March 8, 2018 at 2:00 pm (ET).
