Contact Team Training.
If you are on a legislative contact
team and missed one of this
summer’s trainings, don’t miss this
workshop. The training will give
you the tools you need to effective
communicate with your legislator
and put you in touch with others
from your district who share your
concerns. If you have not yet
signed up to be on a legislative
contact team, it is not too late.
Sign up and attend the training.
