[nabs-l] Fwd: [Nfbnet-students-list] Legislative Leadership Workshop Notes

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello All,

It looks as though the attachment did not come through when Kathryn forwarded this message to the email list. Since I think this is such a well written document on  legislative advocacy, I wanted to make sure everyone receives a copy of these notes.

I know there were some people on this email list who were asking about what to do if they are not able to attend Washington Seminar. I think the notes contained in this document does a good job adding some thoughts and ideas to this discussion.

I think these notes do a really good job explaining the process of advocating for legislative issues. However, I can think of one more thing that can be useful in terms of getting to know your member of Congress. In most cases, you can sign up to receive regular email updates from your member of Congress that highlight places they visit in their home district, events they are sponsoring, and the types of legislation they are currently supporting. I suppose Twitter probably works well for something like this too, but I guess I am a bit old fashioned, and like being able to read something that is a bit more in-depth than a tweet.

Anyway, I just thought I would pass along this information for those of you who may be interested and are no longer receiving emails from the NABS student master email list.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

> As you may recall, NABS partnered with the NFB of CT back in November to put on a workshop covering the ins and outs of Congressional advocacy on the national level. In advance of next week’s Washington Seminar, I am writing to share a document that I have prepared, which provides a nearly comprehensive overview of the material covered at the workshop. There is a great deal of valuable information in this document, and I would strongly encourage you to give it a read and to share it with other students in your state, or with anybody interested in legislative work. It may be of particular benefit to those coming into DC next week for Washington Seminar!

> Please let me know if you have any feedback on the document. I would love to hear it!
