In 2019, one out of every five Members of Congress are new to Washington, DC.  They want to represent you – their constituents – but might not have as much information as they need to represent you well.  Hosting your Member of Congress or visiting them in their local office is the best way to bring your priorities to their attention and develop a relationship you both need to be successful.  This webinar will give you the tools to host a Member of Congress at your office or theirs. 

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:

  • Understand how a Congressional office is organized;
  • Understand the necessary steps to host a visit from a Member of Congress at their organization; and  
  • Understand how to arrange a meeting with a Member of Congress in the district or state office.
