When should I schedule a back home visit?
The best time to schedule a back home visit or look for a town hall meeting to attend is during one of the many district work periods (or recesses) that Congress schedules throughout the year. See House and Senate schedules for upcoming opportunities.
State drive-ins and legislative days
Whether it’s a member of the licensing board, a state legislator, or a key government official, advancing your position is always easier when you have established and cultivate a robust network you can call upon when legislation crops up. Your section or branch can organize a "drive-in" to the state capital as a way to establish a strong network of elected officials and fellow ASCE members who can act as advocates.
