Every spring, ASCE holds its Legislative Fly-In in Washington, DC, an exclusive and intensive two-day event providing participants with professional development in honing their skills in the public policy process and advocacy, as well as valuable peer-to-peer networking with fellow ASCE influencers.

“Members who engage in advocacy aren’t just doing a favor for ASCE— they are also building valuable personal skills that will help advance their career.”

ASCE members will have an opportunity to meet with their Members of Congress or their senior legislative staff and advance the Society’s collective policy priorities while learning beneficial leadership skills they can bring back to the workplace.

At the 2026 Fly-In event, 237 ASCE members participated from 48 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and met with 260 Congressional offices. Attendees heard from an array of senior policymakers to get a deep understanding not just of the issues, but to learn how to be a stronger advocate, prior to their Congressional meetings.
