Legislative Contact Teams
 
Virginia League of Conservation Voters

The Virginia Conservation Network and the Virginia League of Conservation Voters are looking for dedicated individuals committed to improving environmental laws and policies. In an effort to promote conservation advocacy throughout Virginia, VALCV and Virginia Conservation Network are teaming up to organize Conservation Legislative Contact Teams or LCTs. Our goal is to identify 3 to 4 activists in each Senate and House district to serve as the LCT for that legislator. No lobbying experience is needed to join one of our Legislative Contact Teams - just a desire to influence public policy to benefit conservation. Materials will be provided and opportunities to learn how to become an effective lobbyist will be offered throughout the next year. One of the benefits of strengthening personal contacts with legislators is that legislators will become more knowledgeable and hopefully more responsive to our issues. There are conservationists in hundreds of organizations throughout the state. Our goal is to try to organize activists in a manner that will help to coordinate our message and take advantage of a vast, but until now, loose network of advocates.
