Lobby Meeting Appointment Setting & Lobby Team Process
Ā 

Lobby Meeting Appointment Setting

Lobby meeting appointments with Congressional offices will be made by designated CCL Congressional Liaisons or Appointment Setters. If you are not a liaison, please do not try to set an appointment (you can learn about becoming a liaison here).Ā  If you're not sure if there is a liaison or you need help, contact your State Coordinator or Network Director.Ā 

Ā 

Assembling your Lobby Team

For the fall virtual lobby meetings, lobby teams will be created by the local meeting lead, who is usually the liaison and/or appointment setter. If you have any questions about who that person is for your group, feel free to reach out to your chapter leader. If you have any additional questions please contact CCL's Liaison Coordinator team at liaison.coordinator@citizensclimatelobby.org.



Lobby Meeting Planning

OurĀ Lobby Meeting Toolkit will guide you through the planning process.
