Advocacy & Issues: Your Voice on Capitol Hill
Advocating for our members and promoting the value of the association profession to legislators and policymakers is an important priority for ASAE. To do this, we address legislative and regulatory issues that affect the nonprofit and association communities, as well as the association profession. We also strive to keep our members informed about Washington’s legislative and regulatory activities through advisories, issue briefs, our Inroads e-newsletter and weekly updates. Grassroots Participation: Power in Numbers ASAE's grassroots network, ASAE Advocates, supports the association community in the legislative process by promoting legislation that will have a positive impact on the profession. ASAE Advocates call, e-mail, fax, write, and meet with their Members of Congress on behalf of the association community. Currently, there are more than 3,000 ASAE Advocates, comprised of ASAE members throughout the country, and the team continues to grow. Communicating with Legislators: Becoming an Association Advocate ASAE’s Public Policy Division maintains a website that involves our members directly in the political process. This site, www.capwiz.com/asae/home, enables ASAE Advocates across the country to communicate directly with their elected officials, by sending tailored e-mails on issues of importance for the association community. Other resources offered at the site include an online Congressional Directory with photos, bios, committee assignments and staff members;a Congressional ZIP code matching service; and a daily schedule of Congressional events and committee hearings as well as tracking voting records on association issues for all member of Congress.
