Legislative Appointments:
– Legislative appointments are meetings with your state lawmakers and/or their staff alongside other NAMI members and supporters in your legislative district. The NAMI Washington state office works with your local NAMI Washington affiliate offices to schedule appointments with your lawmakers so you can speak on what matters most to you.
– Legislative appointments will be made throughout the week of February 15th until the 19th. Your local affiliate lead will follow up with you via email on the time and details of your legislative appointment after you register.
