1 · ORGANIZATION & EVENT FACTS
Organizer fact · COSSBA Federal Advocacy Conference
COSSBA lists September 19–21, 2027 in Washington, DC. That range does not establish the date or time of any particular congressional meeting.
COSSBA: Federal Advocacy Conference ↗Organizer fact · NSBA Advocacy Institute
NSBA lists January 31–February 2, 2027, with Capitol Hill visits scheduled for February 2. The full conference range is not three days of Hill appointments.
NSBA: 2027 Advocacy Institute schedule ↗2 · THE DATED POLICY RECORD
Historical disclosure · Bose / COSSBA · Q2 2026 LD-2
Bose Public Affairs Group’s COSSBA report identifies K–12 public-education issues. It supplies broad school-board policy context, not a named bill or a final 2027 platform.
Bose / COSSBA: Q2 2026 LD-2 ↗Historical disclosure · BGR / NSBA · Q2 2026 LD-2
BGR’s NSBA report covers K–12 education, IDEA appropriations and child-nutrition programs. These specific issue threads belong to NSBA’s disclosure, not automatically to COSSBA.
BGR / NSBA: Q2 2026 LD-2 ↗3 · PULSE ANALYSIS · A PRACTICAL HANDOFF
What goes in the preparation brief
- Prepare NSBA’s Hill materials before February 2 and the separate COSSBA brief before September 19.
- For the NSBA brief, distinguish IDEA funding and child-nutrition policy; verify the current requests.
- Use the Bose filing for COSSBA’s disclosed policy scope, then confirm COSSBA’s current agenda before naming legislation.
What this evidence does not establish
The events do not overlap. No shared position, coalition, participant list or common office schedule is established. Neither 2026 report confirms a final 2027 meeting ask.

1 · ORGANIZATION & EVENT FACTS
Organizer fact · NSBA Advocacy Institute
The January 31–February 2, 2027 institute designates February 2 for Capitol Hill visits.
NSBA: 2027 Advocacy Institute schedule ↗Organizer fact · NASFAA optional Capitol Hill visits
NASFAA lists optional congressional visits for February 24, 2027, 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Eastern. Its instructions distinguish this optional visit window from the conference program.
NASFAA: optional Capitol Hill visits ↗2 · THE DATED POLICY RECORD
Historical disclosure · BGR / NSBA · Q2 2026 LD-2
NSBA’s filing identifies K–12 education, IDEA appropriations and child-nutrition programs. It is not a NASFAA student-aid disclosure or evidence that NASFAA supports NSBA’s requests.
BGR / NSBA: Q2 2026 LD-2 ↗3 · PULSE ANALYSIS · A PRACTICAL HANDOFF
What goes in the preparation brief
- Keep February 2 school-board visits and February 24 student-aid visits as distinct deadlines.
- Use the NSBA filing only for the school-board policy section; verify NASFAA’s own current financial-aid priorities.
- Confirm participation and individual appointments separately before producing office-specific materials.
What this evidence does not establish
The Hill-visit dates do not overlap. No joint delegation, common legislative position, shared bill or appointment list is established.

FULL WORKED EXAMPLE
One February window. Different student-policy briefs.
A finished higher-education example: fraternity advocacy and financial-aid visits, connected to a dated housing and association-policy disclosure.
Sources reviewed October 26, 2026 · February 22–24, 2027
THE ACCOUNT-BRIEF TAKEAWAY · PULSE ANALYSIS
Separate the actors and refresh the bill references for the new Congress.
A university briefing should distinguish fraternity housing and association issues from financial-aid advocacy. The nearby dates identify a useful research window; the disclosure identifies a policy thread to investigate. Before turning that thread into a 2027 leave-behind, check for new bill numbers and the organizers’ current priorities.
1 · THE SOURCE-BACKED RECORD
Event → organization → policy record
NIC · Congressional Capitol Hill Visits
The Center for Fraternal Excellence’s announcement lists February 22–24, 2027 for the NIC-supported congressional visit program. It describes student participation and an organization-confirmation process, not a public list of congressional appointments.
Center for Fraternal Excellence: 2027 congressional visits ↗NASFAA · Optional Capitol Hill visits
NASFAA lists optional congressional visits on February 24, 2027, 9 a.m.–2 p.m. Eastern. Its organizer page separates that visit window from the conference program and explains the participation process.
NASFAA: Capitol Hill visit information ↗The filing distinguishes two policy threads
Arnold & Porter’s Q2 2026 NIC disclosure names H.R. 2555 / S. 1225 on freedom of association in higher education and H.R. 2355 on collegiate housing. These are 119th-Congress references, not confirmed 2027 bill endorsements or NASFAA positions.
Arnold & Porter / NIC: Q2 2026 LD-2 ↗2 · A USABLE RESEARCH HANDOFF
What to put in the account brief
- Keep the NIC program and NASFAA’s February 24 visit window as distinct events in the planning brief.
- Recheck the housing and association measures for 120th-Congress replacements rather than carrying old numbers into a 2027 ask.
- Confirm each organizer’s priorities and individual office appointments before preparing the final materials.
What this evidence does not establish
No shared legislative position, joint delegation, coalition or common congressional target is established. This sample does not confirm 2027 successor bills or expose participants, contact lists or office schedules.
Organizer facts, historical disclosures and Pulse analysis are labeled separately. Confirm current dates, bill status and participation directly before relying on them.
