Our objectives:

1. Meet twice while Georgia General Assembly is out of session (April–December)
2. Meet twice while Georgia General Assembly is in session (January–March)
3. Attend one open house or meet the candidate opportunities annually.
4. Introduce a friend and constituent to the legislator in one of your meetings.
5. Work on their election campaign when needed (even just two hours).

We will provide training and talking points. Maintaining a good relationship is the goal. You will be paired with an experienced volunteer lobbyist until you feel comfortable on your own.
