Creating an awards program recognizing members of Congress that champion your industry’s causes can be a powerful tool in your organization’s advocacy efforts.
Here are three reasons why you should create one today:
- Drive local media coverage in-district by sending press announcements to local press lists for each of your honorees. You can also reach out to the communications team for each honoree to ask for a quote and share a template press release that they can share with their lists as well – they are often happy to do this!
- Create an easy opportunity to ask for a photo op, or even better, a video with the Senators and Representatives you are honoring to share with your stakeholders and over your social channels.
- Build new relationships or strengthen existing ones with Congressional offices and policymakers who can influence policy decisions that matter for your industry.
OnWrd & UpWrd can help you create a custom awards program tailored to meet your advocacy needs. Reach out to get started today.
