Policymaker Education

Outreach to Policymakers

When it comes to creating positive social change, the process of reaching out to policymakers can be both incredibly important and completely mystifying. The key to success is making sure policymakers on the right committees are well-educated on your issue and consider it a priority by understanding how that issue connects to their constituents. Spitfire Strategies helps clients navigate their way through this process. Whether you are a novice just starting out in the world of policymaker outreach, or an old-hand looking for new strategies, Spitfire has a training that will work for you. Our trainers have solid backgrounds in the world of legislation and politics, and present curriculum that is fresh, engaging, and immediately applicable to the real world.

Participants will leave the session understanding how to:

• Target policymakers who can make their goals a reality;
• Track the legislative process in order to know the best time to engage;
• Create tailored, effective messages that have a better chance of being heard and championed;
• Identify and utilizing the best messengers;
• Request, schedule and plan an effective policymaker meeting; and
• Grow and strengthen relationships with policymakers they already know.

Many legislators really will go to great lengths to help organizations achieve their objectives. Spitfire is ready to show you how to tap into this support, and provide you with the tips and tools you need to operate successfully in the world of policymakers.
