What is Museums Advocacy Day?

How Does it All Work? Pre-Event Information – What to Know Before You Go Webinar Scheduling of Meetings (by Constituency / Community) At the Event Itself

According to a report from the Congressional Management Foundation: Most of the staff surveyed said constituent visits to the Washington office (97%) and to the district/state office (94%) have 'some' or 'a lot' of influence on an undecided Member, more than any other influence group or strategy. When asked about strategies directed to their offices back home, staffers said questions at town hall meetings (87%) and letters to the editor (80%) have 'some' or 'a lot' of influence. Why is it Important? Citizens Have More Power Than They Realize

In a word, EVERYONE Directors Staff Board members Friends/supporters Small businesses that serve museums Coalition partners (schools, community groups, chambers and others) Who Should Go?
