IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction
The Objective of this briefing is to prepare you to contact the office of your Congressional Representative to schedule your required meeting “on the Hill”
CLA staff cannot schedule these for you You are the “constituent” – you live in their congressional district
You will need to call the schedulers to make the appointments
It is a good experience for you and it is part of the CLA experience
CLA cadets and staff are not the only CAP members participating in Legislative Day. Your wing is also sending a delegation.
