概述
While the COVID-19 pandemic has made in-person visits more difficult, 与你当地的人联系和会面, 状态, 或者联邦代表现在比以往任何时候都重要.
Although most members will be unable to conduct face-to-face meeting, you still can connect virtually with your elected officials to discuss issues important to the real e状态 management industry.
Legislators are more likely to support positions that their constituents feel strongly about, which is why it is important for members to engage with their legislators any way they can whether it is virtually, 电话, 电子邮件, 文本, 等.
The 九游会登陆 Government Affairs team recently conducted a webinar about how to conduct effective virtual meetings. 请务必查看九游会登陆录制的网络研讨会: 与你们选出的官员成功会晤
The webinar provides valuable information on how to: identify your elected officials; schedule a meeting; conduct a successful meeting; and some do’s and don’ts when you are conducting your meeting. Although the most common way to meet with a legislator is to conduct a meeting at their district office, 因为COVID-19, 面对面的会议大多已被取消.
However, a recent survey by the Congressional Management Foundation found that 23% of Congressional members have conducted an IN-PERSON tour of a facility. Inviting them on a tour of your property is a great way for them to understand your business and the challenges you are facing. Other alternative approaches to meet with your representatives include:
- 邀请立法者参加你的虚拟分会活动
- Attending one of the legislator’s town halls or other scheduled events
- To find out when a legislator is conducting a town hall or other event, you can either call their office or they may have a list of monthly events on their website
