The Government Relations Association (GRA), the fastest-growing association representing the lobbying, GR, fundraising, grassroots practitioner, and public policy advocacy community, is pleased to announce the latest in its series, "How to Work with Your Congressional Delegation" -- this one focusing on North Carolina. 

This popular series -- FREE to first come, first serve registrations -- helps GR professionals understand how Congressional delegations work together to promote and advocate for the programs and policies most important to their state. Each event focuses on one state, and in the past we have hosted events with California, Texas, and Pennsylvania. On Friday, March 15th at 10 am please join us as we hear from Chiefs of Staff and LDs from North Carolina. 

This panel of personal staff, with years of Hill experience, will share with us their thoughts & best practices on:

• How Congressional offices identify mutual issues of interest for NC, 
• How the GR and lobbying community can weigh in on the impacts on their NC employees -- their constituents,
• What works best to get their attention and persuade them to support your issues,
• Best practices -- what to do, and what not to do; what's effective and what's not,
• When is the best time to share your ideas, and what follow-throughs are needed,
• How you can be the most effective advocate for your issues & clients.
