What is Congressional Visits Day (CVD)?
The CVD is a two-day annual event that brings scientists, engineers, researchers,
educators, and technology executives to Washington to raise visibility
and support for science, engineering, and technology. Uniquely multi-sector

professional societies and educational institutions and it is open to all
people who believe that science and technology comprise the cornerstone
of our Nation's future.

technology to the Nation through meetings with congressional decisionmakers.

Work Group and other colleagues in the science and technology enterprise.
