Keys to Effective Advocacy
Key 4: Timing is everything - know the process

You need to know when to strike -- when lawmakers are voting in committee or when you need their vote on the floor. Knowing the process makes it easier for you to target your contacts and make your voice heard.

Read OSBA's weekly Legislative Highlights regularly during the legislative session and keep up-to-date on what's going on. Respond quickly to the Action Alerts posted on this Web site.
