Upcoming Training For CCL's 2022 June Conference And Lobby Meetings

Looking to gear up with CCL's trainings for the CCL's June 2022 Conference and the subsequent Lobby Meetings? It's as easy as 1-2-3!

1. If you are planning on joining your local lobby team (more details here for how they're being planned) and haven't taken CCL's Climate Advocate Training (2.5 hrs), sign up here for the next upcoming sessions this spring or watch the recording. If you are attending the June Conference, the Climate Advocate Training will also be provided in person during the Sunday morning sessions.

• Note: for youth in your chapter, there is a specific Youth Lobby Training happening Sun, May 1 from 3-5pm ET, have them sign up here. (more information)

Additionally, all 2022 Lobby Day participants are encouraged to attend (RSVP below) both of Dr. Danny Richter's, VP of Government Affairs, essential trainings for lobby day (with the caveat that the current political dynamics are unpredictable and can lead to changes between the trainings and conference):

2. Lobby Training #1: Legislative Plan  (Thurs. May 19th, 8 pm ET) - Danny will provide up to the moment insights on the dynamics in Congress and how we can most effectively use our time in meetings to support our agenda.

3. Lobby Training #2: Primary & Supporting Asks (Thurs. May 26th, 8 pm ET) - Danny will review CCL's primary and supporting asks and guidance for lobby teams as they plan their meetings.
