This summer, the American Institute of Biological Sciences will help dozens of scientists around the country meet with their elected officials. Will you join us and meet with your Representative or state legislator?
As part of this nationwide initiative, we are targeting certain members of the U.S. House of Representatives. If you do not live in one of our high priority districts, you will be able to meet with one of your state legislators. We need your help to make this event a success! Please consider participating in the event or sharing this information with a colleague. Participants commit to meeting with one of their elected officials or their staff. Participants will be prepared for their meeting with a lawmaker through an interactive training webinar that will present tips for conducting a successful meeting with an elected official, training to improve communication skills, and information about federal funding for biological research. The meeting with your elected official will be scheduled by AIBS and can take place at a research facility or the official’s district office. Participation is free, but registration will close on 13 July 2014.
