On behalf of United Way of King County, I’d like to invite you to join us for United Way Lobby Day, an annual event where supporters talk with legislators, encouraging them to strengthen the human services system to ensure everyone has a home, students graduate, and people are financially stable.
~ Colleen Laing, Associate Director, Planning and Public Policy at United Way.

Join us and make a difference!
United Way Lobby Day
Thursday, Feb. 23, 2017
8:00am – 2:30pm
State Capitol, Olympia, Washington

Your Lobby Day Details:

• It’s fun, educational, and has an impact on the success of important legislation
• We provide training and all the information you need to comfortably talk with legislators
• We typically take about 24 people from King County and meet with between 25-30 legislators
• We meet with legislators in groups of 2-4 with an experienced team lead, so you will have leadership, back-up, and support
• Legislators are surprised and happy to hear from business people, community leaders, volunteers, and United Way supporters on human services issues
• Hear what elected officials have to say about their priorities and thoughts on the 2017 session (we usually have 2-4 presentations from legislators during the day)
• Meet business and community leaders from other United Ways around the state
• No need to be an ‘expert’ in any policy area—you’ll be talking about why you support United Way’s work

Your involvement in Lobby Day is key to our policy change!
