Ohio Day at the Capitol
In partnership with the American Federation for Children, The Policy Circle hosted a full-day event in Columbus, Ohio, that was full of learning, connection, and engagement.
In 2024, The Policy Circle launched its signature Day at the Capitol experience in strategic states across the U.S. In May 2023, The Policy Circle successfully introduced our Day at the Capitol model in Austin, TX. These multi-faceted experiences will launch The Policy Circle’s new All-State Appointments Project and serve as an impactful programming platform showcasing experts, policymakers, and thought leaders.
