Abstract
We often hear the phrase "tailor your message to your audience." In this presentation, we will share our perspectives and experiences on communicating with members of Congress and their staff. We will offer tips and clues on messaging. We will cover what to expect when making visits to Capitol Hill and regional district offices, as well as hosting staffers and Congressional members at facilities and events.
