Meeting with your legislators during the General Assembly session in Richmond or in their home office before the session begins is one of the most important and effective ways to influence the policy process. Members are more likely to support positions that their constituents feel strongly about, and there is no better way to display your passion for an issue than by having a face-to-face meeting. Remember, your legislators are probably not nurses, so
you can serve as their “subject matter expert” when it comes to the legislative needs of the nursing profession.
