The Virginia chapter of the Scholars Strategy Network is hosting a workshop on engaging in the state legislative session. This training provides critical knowledge that can be used to foster evidence-based legislation and practical steps for getting engaged with elected officials. Participants will also learn about the Virginia state legislature, the cycle of state legislation, and how and when they can engage. Researchers will be given concrete tips on how to track legislation and determine who in government is the proper target for outreach.

All interested Virginia-based researchers are welcome. There will be time for small group discussions and to address any questions that you have.
