This summer, take a moment to build a meaningful connection with your legislator. It doesn’t have to be complicated — a simple meet-and-greet will go a long way.
As a human resources professional, you have a voice. The PIHRA Government Advocacy Team (GAT) is here to help you amplify your voice and influence legislators at this pivotal time in the nation. More importantly, we make it EASY!
For the Adopt a Legislator campaign, all you have to do is 1) find out who represents you, 2) schedule a meeting through the district scheduler, 3) meet and shake hands with an elected official and 4) let them know you’re part of PIHRA, the largest HR community in the country.
Being a friendly, professional voice helps put a human face on the policies that affect our workplaces every day. Your outreach matters — and it starts with just one conversation.
We want to make this fun and exciting too! You can win up to $150 if you meet with three or more legislators!
