AVBGC Attends The 2025 National Days of Advocacy in Washington, D.C.
A Week of Fruitful Advocacy on Capitol Hill!
Last week, our Co-Executive Director Sally Altobelli and Executive Assistant Dominic Parker traveled to Washington, D.C. to represent the Antelope Valley Boys & Girls Club (AVBGC) during the 11th annual National Days of Advocacy (NDOA). NDOA is a legislative conference/lobbying week hosted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America that focuses on connecting Clubs from all across the nation with their representatives in the United States Congress.
During the week, Sally and Dominic had meetings with three Congressmen whose districts contain AVBGC sites. These included Representative Jay Olbernolte, Representative George Whitesides, and Representative Vince Fong. Additionally, they also had the opportunity to attend statewide meetings with staff members from the offices of both Senator Adam Schiff and Senator Alex Padilla.
Each of these meetings proved to be fruitful, with the Representatives and their teams signaling support and appreciation for the work that AVBGC has done and will continue to do for our community in the Antelope Valley! We are delighted to know that our Club has bipartisan support in Congress and look forward to continuing to foster our relationships with each member’s office during this legislative cycle.
