 Group Discussion:         Advocacy Trip Effectiveness and Opportunities

Moderator:  John Mirau

Our meeting on January 23 will be dedicated to a member-only group discussion on “Advocacy Trip Effectiveness and Opportunities,” as we begin to prepare for our Sacramento trip on March 12-13 and our Washington, D.C. trip on May 20-23.  Please give some thought to our efforts and come prepared to contribute to the discussion.  We need your input!

  • How effective have our meetings and advocacy trips been?  What are some suggestions for improving our efforts?
  • Are we meeting with those who can really impact our issues and able to make things happen?  What can we do differently?
  • How can we leverage the personal contacts of our Inland Action membership?
  • How can we better utilize the lobbying professionals who are working on behalf of our member organizations?
  • Are there ways to better organize our trips, presentations, meeting schedules?
  • How beneficial are our evening events?
