NHA Annual Meeting & Humanities Advocacy Day
The National Humanities Alliance 2010 Annual Meeting & Humanities Advocacy Day will take place March 8-9 in Washington DC. The event is a unique meeting ground for members of the Alliance and others interested in humanities policy and advocacy, including higher education leaders, college and university faculty, teachers, students, museum professionals, librarians, and independent scholars.
Our activities will primarily take place March 8 at The George Washington University's Marvin Center. That Monday evening we will move to Capitol Hill from GWU for a reception to celebrate the humanities with Members of Congress and their staff. We will return to the Hill on Tuesday morning to communicate the value of the humanities at our signature event, Humanities Advocacy Day.
We hope you will join us next March in Washington, DC. Meet national leaders and others engaged in shaping and advocating national humanities policy, learn about the current state of federal funding and latest policy issues in the humanities, and make sure your voice is heard in support of the humanities.
Humanities on the Hill
"Humanities on the Hill" has since become a spring ritual, a two-day event during which board and staff members of state humanities councils across the country come to Washington DC to host their members of Congress at a breakfast or reception at which the humanities themselves are the centerpiece.
Presenters over the years have included filmmaker Ken Burns, prize-winning authors Taylor Branch and Stephen Ambrose, and Jefferson scholar Clay Jenkinson, among many others. For two days surrounding this event, council members visit the offices of their members of Congress, delivering information about the programs in their state and describing the immeasurable impact of these programs on the lives of local citizens. By the time council members head back home after "Humanities on the Hill," their members of Congress are better informed about what the humanities are and why they are so important to the life of this nation.
