In the next few days, Members of Congress will return to their districts and states to meet with constituents like you. As you know, the Partnership is under threat in the current budget cycle, so it is extremely important that you meet with your Members of Congress while they are in your home state during August. By meeting with your Senators and Representatives from the districts your project covers, you will help to show the positive impact of the Partnership and its future potential.
Should you choose to meet with one or more of your Members, we are here to support you every step of the way. Join us on Monday, August 8, 2011 from 3-4 PM EDT for “Advocacy Training 201,” which will include a simulated meeting with a Member of Congress. Click here to sign up for this training.
Meeting with a Member of Congress requires some learned technique and we will cover all of the important points in this webinar. Additionally, learning more on how to talk about your project, the Partnership for Sustainable Communities and the inherent benefits of both will prove to be beneficial when engaging media, local support and national support on related issues.
Why not allow us to take care of the administrative side of scheduling your meeting with your Members? We are happy to do so as well as to provide one-on-one training and advice to any groups or individuals who would like to meet with a particular member. No question or request for assistance is too small – we love to stay engaged on these matters!
Can’t schedule a meeting for this recess? That’s ok. You can still learn useful information from this training opportunity and schedule a meeting in your district office at any time! Click here to sign up for this training.
