We Need You at the Legislative Forum & Lobby Day
It's not too late to register for the 2017 Legislative Forum & Lobby Day. Join us January 30-31 at the Four Seasons Austin as we hear from key regulatory and legislative staffers about critical legislation as Texas kicks off its 85th Legislative Session. Keynote speaker Harvey Kronberg of The Quorum Report will provide his unique perspective from years of reporting on the political process, Melissa Hamilton from TDI will be on hand to discuss TDI's Biennial Report, and we will hear from senior staff members from the Texas House, Senate and the Governor's Office on the upcoming legislative session. You don't want to miss this.

Tuesday morning, January 31st, we will visit the Texas Capitol as part of our Lobby Day. Don't be intimidated by the process! We will be working in teams, and TALHI will provide you with talking points, guidance, and a professionally produced leave behind. The whole event starts with breakfast at the Four Seasons, ends with a come-and-go lunch at TALHI's new offices overlooking the Capitol, and in all lasts just a couple of hours. Your presence matters, reinforcing that TALHI members are working for a vibrant life and health insurance market in Texas. Please join us.
