Before You Arrive

We’re so excited you’re planning to attend KFB’s annual Day at the Statehouse event. Here are a few things you need to know to make your experience great!

Connect with your legislators before you come to Topeka. There are TWO opportunities for this:

  1. DAS Dinner - KFB will invite all legislators to dinner on Tuesday, Jan. 20, but you can make that invitation more personal and enticing by extending the offer as well. Here’s what to do:
      • Find your state legislators by entering your address here. In addition, consider reaching out to the legislators who represent your County Farm Bureau, even if they aren’t your direct representatives.
      • Find your legislators' contact information on the legislative roster here.
      • Email or call their Capitol office to extend the invitation.
      • Share the date and time: Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 5 p.m. Townsite Avenue Ballroom. 
      • Dinner is provided and paid for by Kansas Farm Bureau and will follow all legal requirements. 
      • KFB Staff will meet legislators in the lobby to give them instructions to connect with you easily during dinner.
  2. Meeting at the Capitol – your county’s delegates can meet with your legislator at their office in the Capitol on Wednesday morning. Here’s what to do:
      • Find your state legislators by entering your address here. In addition, consider reaching out to the legislators who represent your County Farm Bureau, even if they aren’t your direct representatives.
      • Find your legislators' contact information on the legislative roster here.
      • Email or call their capitol office to set up a meeting time.
      • Find a time on Wednesday, Jan. 21, between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.
      • Confirm their office location or desired meeting location.
      • KFB Staff will be at the Capitol to help direct you to the arranged meeting spot.

How to pack: We recommend wearing business casual on Tuesday and business professional on Wednesday. You'll want to represent your farm, community, county association and Kansas Farm Bureau well and dressing the part is a big piece of this in Topeka. Business professional means dress slacks or a dress/skirt and a dress shirt, tie (for men) and blazer. No jeans please.
