Grassroots Toolkits

Developing relationships with legislators takes time and persistence. It’s ineffective to show up out of the blue with a long list of demands- like we sometimes must do during the state budget or legislative session. A more effective strategy is to build strong, long-term relationships with legislators based on effective, regular communication. We do our part here in Albany, and it’s time to bring home care HOME- to legislators’ district offices. That’s where our members come in. No one is a better local expert in your business than YOU.
