Meet With Your State Legislators Now

VHCA (7/10/2009)

The summer of an election year is a great time to invite legislators to visit your facility.  Elections for the Virginia House of Delegates and the statewide offices of Governor, Lt. Governor and Attorney General will be held in November of this year.  Schedule your meetings now because legislators and candidates will get increasingly busier in the weeks leading up to the election.

VHCA has developed a “Briefing Notes” document to help you plan your discussions with legislators and candidates.  Use this document as a guide, but remember that it is most important to give them your perspective and an understanding of the problems you see confronting your facility, your staff, and your residents.  Emphasize the contributions that your company makes both to the local and state economy including payroll, taxes, purchase of goods and services, and other areas. You can access the Briefing Notes document here. Please inform VHCA of any legislative meetings that you schedule.  VHCA staff will attend your meeting at your request.
