1 2016 IAC MIDWINTER LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE Welcome to the 2016 Idaho Association of Counties Legislative Conference. We have a great opportunity to meet as a group and present to our State Legislature those items which we, as County Elected Officials, consider to be most important to us and to do so in a unified format. Many of our members have worked hard over the past few months to present, debate, and approve our message for this year. I hope that you enjoy your time in Boise and take advantage of this time to promote those items which you feel are important. Thank you for taking the time to be here this week! Respectfully, Bob McQuade IAC President Ada County Assessor

2 SUCCESSFUL LOBBYING NEVER TELL A LIE Your reputation is everything. If you do not know the answer to a question, pledge to get one as soon as possible. You lose your credibility permanently if you lie. BE PATIENT As public officials, you know the demands on your time. Members of the Legislature also have many parties vying for their attention. While waiting for a meeting or committee hearing, use your time constructively to work on your presentation. BE COURTEOUS Like you, members of the Legislature are human and deserve common courtesy. Plus, they may (and usually will) be more helpful if you treat them with respect. If you are appearing before a legislative committee, be sure to use the appropriate protocol: 1. If you are presenting testimony, begin your address as follows: Mister or Madame Chair and members of the committee. 2. If you are responding to a question from a member of the committee, you must always proceed through the chair. Mister or Madam Chair and Representative or Senator. BE BRIEF Keep your committee testimony short, and to the point. If you are meeting in a legislator s office, get in and out quickly. Show that you know how valuable a legislator s time is. GET TO THE POINT Do not beat around the bush. Keep embelishments to a minimum. And remember the time constraints of your audience. 2

3 K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid. Do not be too technical, too detailed, too complex or too oblique. Get to the point, cover the basics and make sure the legislator understands your main point. NEVER be condescending. KEEP YOUR GROUP SMALL An unwieldy group of people can make everyone uncomfortable, distract from your message and waste valuable time getting set up or presenting your testimony to committee. PLAN YOUR PITCH Make sure you thoroughly consider your position. Develop, rework, and refine your stance in advance, not in front of the legislator or committee you want to impress. PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! Repeat your presentation over and over until it is a work of art. Nothing is more impressive to a legislator than a smooth and professional presentation. Nothing is less impressive than to go in unprepared and stumble through your case. Include everyone involved in the presentation in several practice sessions to avoid dissension and duplication among your delegation. Always try to anticipate and prepare for questions from legislators. Successful DON T FORGET TO CLOSE ALWAYS ask for the legislator s or the committee s support or opposition. Remember, that is what you went there for. 3
