The Municipal Association's Hometown Legislative Action Day arrives Tuesday, February 5. Here's what attendees need to know:
The app
The HLAD app gives users a way to create a personalized schedule from the HLAD agenda and, if applicable, the agenda for the Municipal Elected Officials Institute on February 6. Users also have access to internal social media for the event.
To get the app, visit l.masc.sc/2019HLADapp on your device and follow the instructions on the page. You'll be asked to install Yapp from the app store (if you don't have it already). Open Yapp and tap the HLAD graphic.
