Capitol Hill Day 2010 Postponed
Because Washington DC is being impacted by one of the largest blizzards in the recorded history of this area, with snowfall levels expected to approach 30 inches in some areas, there is a substantial likelihood that all business in this area—including Congress—will be severely disrupted for several days. It is virtually certain that the federal government will be closed on Monday, and perhaps even Tuesday.
As a result, APTS has determined that Capitol Hill Day 2010 should be postponed at this time. We are exploring dates for rescheduling it or using alternative approaches, such as webinars or video conferences to provide timely information. At this point, APTS is asking Capitol Hill Day registrants to contact their airlines and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel at 1-800-241-3333 to cancel their travel plans. We believe this is the only prudent approach to take in light of the current circumstances.
APTS will be in touch with the station community as soon as we determine whether we will reschedule the meeting or whether we will use alternative methods such as webinars or video conferences. If we do not reschedule Capitol Hill Day, all of your registration payments will be refunded.
Resources for Stations
Capitol Hill Day Online Briefing
-
On Tuesday, February 2, APTS hosted a Capitol Hill Day briefing on public television station's legislative agenda. Whether you are a first-time participant in Capitol Hill Day or a seasoned veteran, this briefing provided a detailed background presentation on public television's agenda before Congress. This briefing is a valuable opportunity for station board members and key employees (who are not able to join us at Capitol Hill Day) to learn more about our legislative agenda.
