Step 1: Identify the House & Senate member(s) in your district(s)
Step 2: Contact their offices to schedule a constituent meeting
contact information will be listed on the website linked in step 1
Step 3: Print your leave-behinds, meet, and share your EMS Story!

Tips for a Successful Hill Meeting
- Be in uniform
- Be prepared!
this includes leave-behinds, business cards, and key messages
- Be on time and follow any arrival instructions provided
- Don't be disappointed if you meet with a staffer, not the member
building relationships with staffers is a great way to make sure our message is heard and understood
- Follow up! Take business cards (members & staffers) and send a follow-up to include digital versions of leave-behinds, ensure they have your contact information, and thank them for taking the time to meet. You can even include a link back to the association website (www.mnems.org)
