Effective lobbying comes from good “grassroots” participation. Basically, this means people expressing themselves from their home or office on matters affecting their lives and livelihood. As a county leader, you can make a difference! NACo has professional advocates on staff, but one of the most important elements for the success of our efforts on behalf of county governments is your participation. Discover how you can effectively lobby from your county offices and identify ways to get the attention of Congress.
