The National Humanities Alliance 2008 Conference will be held March 3-4 in Washington DC. The two-day event is a unique meeting ground for members of the Alliance and others interested in humanities policy and advocacy, including higher education leaders, college and university faculty, teachers, students, museum professionals, librarians, archivists, curators and independent scholars.

In 2008 NHA will once again jointly convene its Annual Membership Meeting and 9th Annual Humanities Advocacy Day. This enhanced program will provide added value for traditional participants of both meetings.

All registered participants are encouraged to take part in Humanities Advocacy Day on March 4. The event provides supporters an important opportunity to meet with their representatives in the new Congress, and to work together to communicate the public value of the humanities to policymakers in Washington, DC. Conference activities will be capped by a reception at the Historic Sewall-Belmont House and Museum on Capitol Hill.

We hope you will join us this March in Washington, DC. Meet national leaders and others engaged in shaping and advocating national humanities policy, learn about the current state of federal funding and latest policy issues in the humanities, and make sure your voice is heard in support of the humanities.
