To log your team's meeting notes, coordinate with your Congressional Liaison and designate who will be using CCL's Action Tracker via Log An Action > Contact with Legislator > Lobby Meeting. The questions that the tracker asks are the same prompts that the CCL Meeting Minutes Print-Out provides lobby teams ahead of time.
