Hundreds – if not thousands – of bills are introduced in a state legislature each year. Part-time lawmakers have little more than three months to sift through these bills. In that time, you and hundreds of other competing interests will jockey to persuade those lawmakers. The process is chaos. Without the tools to manage the process, your efforts will be lost in the pandemonium.
The tools in this course will help you manage that chaos and propel your priorities to the forefront. These templates and tools were developed by Strategic Advocacy, a public affairs management firm.
Before deploying any of the tactics listed here, discuss your efforts with in-state counsel to ensure you are operating within the 501(c)(3) boundaries in your state.
