Legislative Updates
Looking ahead to 2016, members of Congress are expected to spend a fair amount of time in their home states.
As you know, when members of Congress are in-district, it’s an ideal opportunity to plan meetings with them and their staff members, or to seek out opportunities to engage them locally.
There are many ways to accomplish this—but planning is key.
First, take a look at the dates below showing the times your member of Congress is expected to be at home in-district.
Second, check representatives’ websites and social media accounts throughout the year to find other opportunities to meet them at town halls or other events.
Finally, plan your presence.
If you need help or tips, contact the Government Affairs Department. And as always, keep checking the Government Affairs section of nalc.org for the latest news and information.
