Capitol Hill Day
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
Wednesday is reserved for meetings on Capitol Hill. We encourage every chapter to take advantage of the opportunity to meet with your respective Congressmen and Senators to voice NAIOP's legislative concerns on critical issues. NAIOP will provide materials and education on the issues most pressing to our association and industry during CL&LR - but first you need to schedule your appointments!
Note: The Roosevelt ant Taft rooms have been reserved again this year at the Capitol Hill Club for attendees to congregate before, during and after meeting their representatives. A light buffet lunch and refreshments will be served. Luggage may not be taken to Capitol Hill visits and should be stored in NAIOP's luggage storage at the Mayflower Hotel.
A checklist to schedule a meeting with your Congressional representatives:
Last week of December:
- Visit CapWiz to send a letter requesting an appointment.
- Follow-up with a phone call to the representative's scheduler within one week. If the elected official is not available, ask to meet with the staff that is responsible for covering our priority issues.
The second week of January:
If you need assistance in scheduling your appointments, contact the Government Affairs Department at (703) 904-7100.
Tips to Successfully Schedule Your Meeting on Capitol Hill
- Have a constituent from the representative's home district request an appointment.
- List all constituents who will attend and the main issues you wish to cover.
- If your elected official is unable to participate in the meeting, ask if they would be available for a photo opportunity afterwards.
