Congressional Meetings: What to Expect 

• Keep meetings short, 15-20 minutes. If the meeting has naturally concluded, don’t force a new topic to fill time. Everyone appreciates getting a few minutes back! 
• Your meetings with members of Congress or their staff. But don’t be intimidated! Members want to hear from their constituents. 
• Your audience will have varying degrees of knowledge. Before diving into talking points, make it a conversation; ask how familiar your meeting lead is with malaria.
• Prepare for your meeting, make sure you know the talking points and do any additional research.
• If you don’t know, don’t make it up! If they ask a question you don’t know the answer to, let staff know you will have a team member from United to Beat Malaria follow up.

Remember: A successful meeting should feel like a conversation, not a lecture! 

 

Building Relationships with Freshmen members of Congress 

Freshmen members of Congress are those serving their first term in U.S. Congress. We believe that there is a significant benefit to educating our incoming freshmen members of Congress in order to build affinity toward global health programs early in their careers.
