Design Your Capitol Hill Visits with Members of Congress for Maximum Impact - Episode 38

Design Your Capitol Hill Visits with Members of Congress for Maximum Impact - Episode 38

Whenever you have the opportunity to meet with your US Representative and Senators in Washington DC, you want to make sure that you get the greatest possible impact for your efforts. A lot of time and expense goes into that trip, and too often folks come away disappointed in the results.  There’s a handful of things that can make or break your visit with congressional offices.  Let’s make sure you get them right, so you can get the results you’re looking for.  

In this episode, we share:

  • The two things most likely to get the attention and focus of a Member of Congress 
  • Critical advance work to that will set you up for success 
  • How to navigate the unique environment of Capitol Hill 
  • Messaging strategies for rapid engagement (you might only get 15 minutes!)
  • How to get Congressional staffers out of notetaking mode and into engagement mode
  • Essential after-meeting action items 

If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I’d be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.

Thanks!
