In recent surveys, 14 local associations reported having had meetings with elected officials.
Discussion Question:
Are most of your legislative meetings with local or state officials? What topics do you meet about?
*** If you are setting up a meeting with Congressional members, we are available to provide fact sheets, talking points, and other resources on priority legislation. We can also connect you with national partners when relevant. Email us at [email protected] to discuss further. ***

Monthly Advocacy Point of Contact Survey Sneak Preview/ December Monthly Survey Question:
What meetings would you like the National Office to set up with Incumbent Members of Congress or Newly Elected Members?
1) Think about who you would like to cultivate relationships with?
2) Who are champions on your issues, but legislators you would like to take it to another level with?
3) Who are the harder relationships to navigate, and you think building a relationship with is worth pursuing?
4) Any Newly Elected Members You Would Like National to Set up Meetings with and starting now would be beneficial?
*Note* We will map these meetings out over a period of time but will work with your local association on the request.
