Run the day itself

This is the dossier. The other half is game day.

When your delegation walks The Hill, Pulse of The Hill runs the day around this same data:

Live command center

Every meeting's status on one screen for whoever's watching from the office.

A board for whoever runs point

Roster, schedule, and who's in which room — the day at a glance.

A private link per person

Each attendee opens it on their phone and sees just their own meetings.

Morning-after Word report

Every ask captured office by office — Agreed, Non-committal, Declined.

Description

American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Capitol Hill Day. Advocates prepare with ASHA Advocacy staff on September 22, then meet with their legislators on September 23. Attendance is by application (ASHA members, ASHA-certified assistants, and National NSSLHA members).
