Legislative Visits on November 14 Senate will be in session. Still time to schedule meetings with Senators and/or Senate staff House of Representatives will NOT be in session Plan to stop by House members’ offices and leave materials Still opportunities to meet with House staff

Tips for Legislative Visits Be on time, flexible and brief Meetings should be 15-20 minutes Expect to wait in a small area or in the hallway Skim each legislator’s bio in advance of your visit. Take note of which committees the legislator sits on. You can find that information for House members here: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/mbrList.cfm?body=H and for Senators here: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/home/member_information/mbrList.cfm?body=S

Tips for Legislative Visits Be prepared to meet with staff instead of the legislator, even if you were previously told the legislator would attend. Select a spokesperson and organize your thoughts ahead of time with others who are attending Select a note taker who is responsible for completing the evaluation sheet Have your handouts and leave behinds ready, along with information from your IU with your contact information on them Follow up with a thank you note within a week
