Why Should HLAA Organize for Advocacy?
• To influence legislation
• To gain a presence in the legislative process
• To get in early on issues before opinions
are firm
• To communicate the concerns of HLAA
• To give elected officials a better understanding
of HLAA
• To protect HLAA interests
• To have elected officials understand and
respect HLAA's point of view
• To motivate legislators to work with and
for HLAA
• To get to know legislators and their staffs
• To gain recognition as a proactive political
force
