WHAT IS A MEMBERS ONLY CAPITOL HILL MEETING?Join fellow NACBA members for our 2011 Members Only Capitol Hill Meeting. The event will kick off off at noon on Wednesday, April 13, 2011, with a half-day oftraining, followed by a full day of meetings with Members of Congress and their staffthat are arranged by NACBA. This is a unique opportunity to learn about how to participate in the legislative process and to maximize your own ability to directlyaffect future legislation. The event will be held at the Marriott Wardman Park inWashington, DC.
Participants in the 2011 Members Only Capitol Hill Meeting will receive a $100 discount off the registration price for the 19th Annual Convention, being held Friday,April 15 to Sunday, April 17, 2011–immediately following the Capitol Hill Meeting.
You will receive your Convention discount code by email AFTER completing your registration for the 2011 Members Only Capitol Hill Meeting.
How many times have you heard or read something about bankruptcy that you know to be patently false based on the
circumstances of the clients you represent?:“It’s time to promote responsible borrowing. Bankruptcy was not intended to be aconvenient financial planning tool where deadbeats can get out of paying their debt scot-free while honest Americans who play by the rules have to foot the bill.”
“It's a myth that people filing bankruptcy with big credit card debt are poor. I don't believe being poor automatically makes a person a victim. There's a boom in bankruptcy due to a lack of responsibility, more than lack of income.”
Powerful financial interests dominate the important policy debates that take place inWashington and this, is the kind of message they deliver to lawmakers. When you hear this don’t you want to set the record straight? NACBA’s Capitol Hill Meeting is our chance to bring a different perspective to Washington–to be the voice for those millions of Americans who aren’t getting 6 or 7 figure bonuses, but instead are feelingthe crush of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. We bear witness every day to the damage to families facing lost jobs, overwhelming medicalbills, and the absence of meaningful relief from the wave of home foreclosures sweeping across the country.
The 2011 Members Only Capitol Hill Meeting is an opportunity for NACBA membersto tell the stories of their clients and to educate the many new Members of Congressabout the role bankruptcy plays in helping these financially devastated families getback on their feet.
This year, not only is this year’s Capitol Hill Meeting being held in conjunction withour Annual Convention for the first time, but it also marks the launch of a moreaggressive program that for the first time in NACBA’s history will provide dedicatedresources and personnel to train and deploy a grassroots network of NACBA memberswilling to serve as “ambassadors” to their congressional delegations. This is an excitingnew program that will give you all the tools and training you need–on a continuingbasis–to be an effective advocate on behalf of bankruptcy laws that serve the needs of financially devastated families.
The Convention Hotel does not provide shuttle service.

How many times have you heard or read something about bankruptcy that you know to be patently false based on the
circumstances of the clients you represent?:“It’s time to promote responsible borrowing. Bankruptcy was not intended to be aconvenient financial planning tool where deadbeats can get out of paying their debt scot-free while honest Americans who play by the rules have to foot the bill.”
“It's a myth that people filing bankruptcy with big credit card debt are poor. I don't believe being poor automatically makes a person a victim. There's a boom in bankruptcy due to a lack of responsibility, more than lack of income.”
Powerful financial interests dominate the important policy debates that take place inWashington and this, is the kind of message they deliver to lawmakers. When you hear this don’t you want to set the record straight? NACBA’s Capitol Hill Meeting is our chance to bring a different perspective to Washington–to be the voice for those millions of Americans who aren’t getting 6 or 7 figure bonuses, but instead are feelingthe crush of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. We bear witness every day to the damage to families facing lost jobs, overwhelming medicalbills, and the absence of meaningful relief from the wave of home foreclosures sweeping across the country.
The 2011 Members Only Capitol Hill Meeting is an opportunity for NACBA membersto tell the stories of their clients and to educate the many new Members of Congressabout the role bankruptcy plays in helping these financially devastated families getback on their feet.
This year, not only is this year’s Capitol Hill Meeting being held in conjunction withour Annual Convention for the first time, but it also marks the launch of a moreaggressive program that for the first time in NACBA’s history will provide dedicatedresources and personnel to train and deploy a grassroots network of NACBA memberswilling to serve as “ambassadors” to their congressional delegations. This is an excitingnew program that will give you all the tools and training you need–on a continuingbasis–to be an effective advocate on behalf of bankruptcy laws that serve the needs of financially devastated families.
The Convention Hotel does not provide shuttle service.
