Congressional Meetings
Talking Points
Review practical tips and suggested talking points to help you prepare for congressional meetings, navigate conversations effectively, and clearly communicate your key priorities.
#1
Stay on Message
Stick to the key points. Avoid tangents or controversial side issues. Focus on how your ask benefits their constituents or aligns with their priorities.
#2
Make it Personal
Share real stories about how the issue affects you, your members, or the community. Humanizing policy helps leave a lasting impression.
#3
Coordinate with Your Group
If you are participating in a group for your congressional meetings, try to assign speaking roles: Who will introduce the group, who will share a personal story, and who will make the legislative ask. Practice staying within your allotted time (usually 15–20 minutes).
#4
Post Meeting Debrief
At least (1) participant from each meeting is expected to complete a Debrief Form. This will help NARHC better understand what was discussed and how we can work with these offices moving forward.
