PRACTICE THE "ASK"
This exceedingly popular class allows NiW attendees to role-play a meeting with their member of Congress before heading
to Capitol Hill. This is a way for you to make sure you understand the "Ask" and are prepared for Congressional visits. This
class runs continuously throughout the morning, crafting different scenarios to help you prepare for any type of meeting.
Why should I attend? Feeling prepared for your meetings on the Hill will boost your confidence and help you be a better
activist. This workshop allows attendees to sharpen their skills by working with an NLC member who will offer different
techniques and insights to make meetings easier and more productive.
Instructors:
Great Lakes Legislative Committee Chair Mike Hanlon, Southwest Legislative Committee Chair Corey Soignet, Region X Legislative
Committee Chair Sam Giberson, North Florida State Legislative Coordinator Paul Behan, Great Lakes NLC Mentee Mike Orr, and
Northwest Mountain NLC Mentee Caryn Smith will lead this workshop. Combined, this team has more than five decades of experience
speaking with Congressional offices on issues important to NATCA and can offer a wide array of tips and advice to help you be a
successful activist.
