ALFA Advocacy Fly-In

The ALFA Advocacy Fly-In is the premier public policy event for ALFA. Open to ALFA members only, this two day event brings together top advocates from across the country to Washington, DC to advocate for the principles of choice, independence, and quality of life for seniors.

At the ALFA Advocacy Fly-In executives from the senior living industry visit with members of Congress to advocate for policies that will advance quality of life for America’s seniors. ALFA facilitates the meetings and hosts a briefing about critical matters before Congress that could impact the future of senior living.

Advocacy never ends. It is a constant endeavor. And your presence in these meetings is paramount to our advocacy efforts. You are the voice of senior living. You are the most effective advocates in the best interests of resident-centered care.
