The National Humanities Alliance will hold its 2011 Annual Membership Meeting & Humanities Advocacy Day on Monday, March 7 - Tuesday, March 8. 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, and independent scholars.
Events will take place in Washington, DC, on The George Washington University campus and Capitol Hill. A block of rooms at the One Washington Circle Hotel (located near GWU) is reserved for participants at a discounted rate of $179 on Sunday, March 6 and $229 on Monday, March 7 and Tuesday, March 8.
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.
Additional meeting information will be posted to the NHA website this fall.
Annual Meeting Background
The organizations and institutions of the National Humanities Alliance convene annually at the membership business meeting. The meeting now takes place each spring in conjunction with Humanities Advocacy Day. Finance, Membership, and Nominating Committee reports are delivered at the meeting. The Nominating Committee presents a slate of candidates to fill board vacancies and officer positions.
Humanities Advocacy Day Background
Humanities Advocacy Day started in 2000 to provide an opportunity for the entire humanities community to convene, meet with their elected officials, and convey the importance of federal support for the humanities. The grassroots advocates that attend lay the groundwork for the Alliance’s policy efforts throughout the year. Participants find the experience to be valuable and educational and enjoy the opportunity to network with colleagues and share their work with Members of Congress and other policy officials.
