Meetings should be 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:
and for Senators here:

10. 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
