See Your Members of Congress In-Person to Share Your Message

Fly-ins have long been a crucial component of federal advocacy strategies. In our current era of constant virtual meetings, taking the time to visit Washington, D.C., to meet in person with your Member of Congress or their staff is even more effective.

These meetings are personal and allow you to develop a rapport with your Member of Congress and their staff. And when your organization or association comes to Washington, DC, as a group, your impact is magnified.

95 percent of House members agree that staying in touch with constituents is crucial to their effectiveness. “Whether someone is a member of an association, an employee of a business, a supporter of a nonprofit or interest group, or just a constituent with something to say, Senators and Representatives want to hear from their constituents,” a Congressional Management Foundation report stated.
