NAGC Capitol Hill Advocacy Day Returns!

March 19th, 2026

Returning Spring 2026, approximately 60 of the most influential educators, leaders, parents, and advocates will converge on Washington, DC for a focused, nonpartisan day of action on behalf of gifted learners. The experience begins several weeks before Hill Day when attendees will participate in a series of live and asynchronous advocacy training. Once they arrive, the day begins with an energizing breakfast briefing where participants receive the latest policy updates, message training, and their Metro passes before heading to House and Senate offices. Throughout the day, small teams will share local stories and research-backed recommendations while championing equitable access to advanced learning opportunities, stronger teacher preparation, and sustained support for the Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program. After a full slate of meetings, everyone reconvenes for evening networking to exchange insights and recharge the advocacy community. By uniting diverse voices around a common mission, Hill Day elevates gifted education on the federal agenda and equips attendees to serve as year-round ambassadors in their home districts.

Capitol Champion Sponsor (Exclusive)

Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the nation’s most passionate advocates for gifted learners. As a Capitol Champion, your brand will guide participants from breakfast to the Hill—literally—via branded Metro-pass card holders and a personal hand-off moment that sparks conversation and gratitude. A brief welcome from your representative anchors your company as a trusted, nonpartisan voice for advanced-education equity, while prime logo placement on the event website and app keeps you front-and-center all day. Two complimentary registrations ensure your team can network with advocates and policymakers alike, forging relationships that reinforce your leadership in supporting bright young minds.

Investment: $1,500

Benefits include:

  • Sponsor logo on card holder for advocate Metro day passes
  • Opportunity to distribute Metro cards to advocates at breakfast
  • Prime sponsor logo on event website
  • Verbal Recognition – acknowledgment from the podium during the advocate breakfast
  • Recognition as a Capitol Champion at NAGC’s Annual Convention in 2026
