After Your Visit

Some tips for after your visit:

• Send a thank you letter and re-emphasize key points you discussed during the meeting. Be sure to provide any additional information you may have promised and send a copy of any pictures taken with the legislator.
  
  
• Let LeadingAge staff know how the meeting went by emailing us. This information will be crucial to LeadingAge staff in planning future lobbying efforts and will ensure that our message is consistent. We are happy to post pictures of the visit on our website!
  
  
• Thank all of your colleagues who participated in the meeting. Share any pictures that were taken and ask for feedback on how to improve future meetings and how to continue to build the relationship with the legislator.
