Catholic Social Ministry Gathering 2012 State Captains Introduction Webinar
Faithful Citizenship: Protecting Human Life and Dignity, Promoting the Common Good
Welcome to the State Captains Webinar as we prepare for the 2012 Catholic Social Ministry Gathering. You are a vital part of making this Gathering a success. We want to give you the tools to help you prepare for the Gathering, especially those of you who are taking the role of state captain or co-captain for the first time.
This presentation will give you an update of where we are now with the Gathering and emphasize the importance of the Hill visits to our Catholic social action outreach. It will provide some information about the 112th Congress and touch on likely Hill issues, and give you tips on how to better organize your Hill visits.
Role of State Captains
- Help lead and coordinate congressional visits by the members of your state's delegation
- While mainly responsible for setting up visits with your Senators, it is imperative to also get the members of your delegation to set up meetings with their Representatives. We can help with office phone numbers, if you need it.
- Challenges and opportunities, sharing what works and what doesn't work. Advice from our colleagues.
