New Legislator Fridays Registration |
Who: March of Dimes volunteers, mission families and staff
What: Participating in one or more 15-30 minute meetings with newly elected California Assembly Members and State Senators and/or their staff members
Where: In the legislators' district offices throughout California
When: Any of three Fridays in early 2015 - January 30, February 6 and February 13
Why: The 2015-2016 legislative session recently started and nearly one-third (35 members) of the California Legislature are new members following the November 2014 election. As these legislators represent us and will be voting on issues critical to the health of women and children in California, it is important that we establish a relationship with these offices early on and make them aware of the mission of the March of Dimes. The goal of the meetings is to educate newly elected legislators and their local staff members about the work that we are doing in their district and our advocacy efforts in California.
How: After signing up, you will be contacted by Justin Garrett, State Director of Advocacy & Government Affairs. Justin will handle coordinating participants, scheduling meetings and providing materials. Participants will simply need to participate in a training webinar, attend the meetings and report back after the meetings.
