We are thrilled to announce that our 53rd annual leadership and training conference, known as Eagle Council, will be held in our nation’s capital on September 8-11, 2025, in Washington, D.C., and WE WANT YOU TO BE THERE WITH US!

Eagle Council 53 is presented by Eagle Forum, an organization founded by the late Phyllis Schlafly in 1972. It is governed by a Board of Directors and made up of an army of volunteers representing almost every state in our nation. Eagle Council is an incredible gathering for our faithful friends, fellow activists, and constituents designed to further encourage, educate, empower, and equip us all to engage effectively in active citizenship.

With an established history, Eagle Forum and its members have the experience to train up new generations of grassroots activists to ensure that America continues to be a land of individual liberty, respect for family, integrity, public and private virtue, and private enterprise. In addition to all of Eagle Forum’s other resources and opportunities, Eagle Council 53 offers conservatives like you the time to come together and obtain the added training and encouragement needed to carry on this mission.

Eagle Council 53 will be a working conference, beginning with a Monday (9/8) arrival at the National Landing Hotel Crystal City in time for our evening gathering in which we will serve dessert and coffee, spend time getting to know one another, and share added detail about our next TWO FULL DAYS and EVENINGS on CAPITOL HILL whereby we will visit with our U.S. Representatives, Senators, and their staffs! We will also host briefings on important issues and learn from lawmakers and policy experts.

We will hit the ground running on Tuesday, September 9, as our Eagles descend on Capitol Hill lobbying Members of Congress and their staff. Your presence in person on the Hill in these offices is invaluable to our cause. We will brief you on the issues Eagle Forum suggests that you cover before you arrive in D.C. and for those who are brand new to the process, we will be sure you are trained on lobbying protocols and skills before, as well as helping you navigate your way to, from, and around the Capitol. This summer, we will host preparatory meetings and training sessions for those attending, and especially for those who are new participants in this process. The sessions will include information about how to make appointments to meet with your Congressional Members before you arrive to ensure that they and/or staff will be available to meet with you, how to speak about the issues, and best practices so that your visit and work are effective!

Tuesday evening (9/9), join us at the Capitol Hill Club for a fundraiser ($100 contribution suggested from our conference registrants) for Eagle Forum PAC, Networking with Congressional Members. Food and beverages will be served. We must continue to elect good, conservative leaders!

Wednesday evening (9/10), join us for dinner and hear presentations from various policy experts on important issues we care about.

After covering a lot of ground and all your hard work on Capitol Hill the prior two days and evenings, we will regroup at the hotel on Thursday (9/11) morning for an opportunity to share what we were able to accomplish and to learn from one another. We will cap off our time together with a special keynote speaker and luncheon. You are free to depart for home thereafter, or you may stay to tour more of our beautiful capital city on your own.

People have attended Eagle Council for more than 50 years because of its stellar reputation for offering an exceptional program filled with information and speakers who are experts in key areas of policy. This year, please be aware that we will NOT be in the hotel sitting in our seats and listening to speaker after speaker. Instead, YOU will have the opportunity to learn and engage first-hand in the policymaking process on Capitol Hill! Eagle Forum members are DOERS, not simply HEARERS!

LODGING: Finally, we have secured an affordable room rate of $209/night at the beautifully renovated and state-of-the-art National Landing Hotel Crystal City, just a short shuttle ride from Reagan International Airport and directly connected to the Metro, making it easy for you to get around D.C. You may make your hotel reservations online from EagleForum.org using their link. YOU MUST make your hotel reservations by AUGUST 18 to receive this low conference rate.

We look forward to seeing you at EAGLE COUNCIL 53 in D.C., September 8-11, 2025, as we continue building on a solid foundation to secure America’s future for generations to come!
