Advocating your position to lawmakers

Is there a bill pending in your state legislature that you would like to talk to your lawmakers about? Lawmakers listen to and are influenced by their constituents. That is why it is important for you to know how to effectively express your concerns to your lawmakers. The Advocacy section on gcsaa.org contains GCSAA’s online advocacy manual, which provides you with simple, practical approaches on how to influence the political process and provides the tools you need to reach out to lawmakers. You can learn how to organize proactive government relations efforts through coalition building and lobbying; discover how the political process works; find out how to make the most of your time with a lawmaker; and learn how to write position papers. You can also learn how to present effective public testimony and hire a contract lobbyist. Visit GCSAA’s Web site or contact the department of information and public policy at (800) 472-7878 for help with your advocacy efforts.
