Examples may be conferences, workshops, political party conventions, or other special events where the legislator is in attendance. The League Legislative Conference is an excellent opportunity to meet with your legislative representatives to share ideas and information. During the legislative year, legislators generally can be found in the legislative district on Thursday evenings, Fridays, weekends, holidays, and interim recesses. To request a meeting with your legislator or staff, it is advisable to contact the scheduling staff at least one week in advance. Meeting length can vary depending on the issue and time available-anywhere from 15 minutes to a lunch.
Many legislators find early morning breakfast meetings a convenient time to meet with constituents.
Remember, the goal is to establish and foster an ongoing relationship.
