We will facilitate a series for participants on how to access and interpret formal and informal information sources in the State House, and how to translate this into political reality for their organizations. We will connect participants with a panel of practitioners, who are either current or former lobbyists, legislative and administrative staff, and members of the media.

Conversations focus on the day-to-day, week-to-week tactics, strategies, and practices used by successful lobbyists and grassroots organizers in the State House's ever-changing political dynamic.

In addition, participants can learn:

• How to organize issue briefings and format fact sheets for executive managers and legislators.
• To create collaborative campaigns with nontraditional partners.
• Techniques for 'translating' their organization's campaign to key State House players, placing value on productive relationships.

Selections from Real Clout, The Real Clout Workbook, and Lobbying on a Shoestring reinforce points from the sessions.
