Section outline


  • Your trip (or phone call) to DC doesn't stop here! Long term relationships are essential to winning your policy issue. In this section you'll learn how to put together site visits. Whether they'll be in-person or via video is up to the discretion of the legislative office.

    The only difference from your perspective is what video platform you'll use to conduct the visit, as well as how many outside people you'll involve. Due to social distancing guidelines, having one-person conduct a video walk through generally works best. You can engage others with a joint video meeting at the end.

    Choose a platform and technology that allows you to transition from the walk through to a joint meeting in order to avoid asking legislators and staff to call in twice. You might also consider recording your walk-through for the legislator or staff to view while with you on a joint call.
