VTCA Emerging Leaders Briefed on VTCA Legislative Engagement

VTCA’s Emerging Leaders spent the day in downtown Richmond to learn how VTCA advocates for its members at the General Assembly.  VTCA staff teamed up with the Alliance’s lobbyists from Hunton Andrews Kurth to peel back the layers and complexity of a successful legislative advocacy program. With an emphasis on member involvement the group explored how VTCA engages with legislators to introduce new legislation as well as respond to unfavorable legislation.
