If you attend one professional development event this summer, I hope you will consider the half-day conference next Tuesday morning, June 15, at the National Press Club entitled, “The Most Effective Strategy for Reaching Congress.”
At the conference we will tackle three crucial items:
1. The Most Effective Strategy for Impacting Congress
The first panel will not only include seasoned advocacy professionals but also staff from House and Senate offices. There will be a great discussion about advocacy strategies and tactics that really work.
2. What Exactly is the Difference Between Grassroots and Astroturf?
There has been a lot of confusion lately about where grassroots organizing ends and astroturf begins. Our expert panel will include both practitioners and reporters alike sorting through the confusion.
3. The Launch of a New Index that Measures Citizen Engagement with Congress
Two DC-based firms, Adfero Group and Fireside21, will officially launch the Congressional Conversation Index, a ranking of the top issues that Members of Congress are hearing about from their constituents. This is the first time this kind of data has been made available to the public.
