State & Territory Convening
America250 thanks you for joining the in-person working session of core Semiquincentennial planning stakeholders in Washington, DC, from Tuesday, July 9 – Thursday, July 11, 2024.
State and Territory Commissions, Federal agencies, national partners, and more rolled up our sleeves and continued preparing for the next iteration of our national Playbook. As we approach our Two-Year Count Up to 2026, we shared exciting milestones and developments and identified resources to facilitate a commemoration and celebration from Sea to Shining Sea.
