- Tips and techniques on effective lobbying, testimony, and communicating with Senators and Representatives
- Understanding the legislative process, deadlines, and power dynamics
- Easy to use tools available on the Legislature’s website

The flexible nature of the workshop provides a useful start for newcomers, as well as new information and inspiration for veterans of the legislative process.
