The White House participants in front of the Eisenhower Executive Office Bldg

The White House Briefing and Training brought 50 people from 23 states to Washington DC to experience a day of briefings at the White House and a full day training at the Citizens for Global Solutions National Office. Everyone involved found the event exhilarating, useful and energizing to continue their activism after they left the nation's capitol.

One participant remarked: "I am honored to have been able to attend this event and feel it will definitely help me continue to lobby much more effectively, with more coverage and with a better understanding of the facts. Thank you. Also, a very diverse group - that is a big priority for me personally."

For many visiting the East Wing of the White House was a once in a lifetime experience: "The only place more impressive to have met would be the Oval Office!"
