Legislative Visits
If you plan to join the virtual activities, we encourage you to contact your Delagates and Senators and invite them to visit you at your REMO table. If you do not know who your representative is or who your senators are, you may find that information by clicking HERE. You may also consider a one on one call. Contact the Member's office. Then, ask to set up a meeting with the staff who handles appropriations or health care or disability issues. Be sure to let them know you are a constituent. Contacting Members of the Legislature: Remember, when contacting your Delegate or Senator to: 1. Identify yourself as a constituent. Explain that you are calling to invite him/her to the Brain Injury Awareness Day activities. Explain how brain injury affects you or your family. If you have examples of how TBI Act program funding has impacted activities and services in your State, be sure to tell them. Example: "Hello, I am ____ and I am a constituent of your district/State, and am calling to invite you to the events sponsored by the Brain Injury Association and the Maryland TBI Advisory Board on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 If you do not have a copy of the agenda, I would be happy to provide to you either now over the phone, or by e-mail or fax. These events will feature best practices in brain injury prevention, research and services and supports offered by federal and State programs. I would like to meet with you specifically to talk about brain injury in our State and share resources and contacts with you so that you may better help constituents who may call you seeking assistance. Also, I would like to talk to you about funding for TBI programs and the importance of state funding to help us better serve our State's citizens with TBI and their families. Will you have time to attend any of the Awareness Day events? 2. Say thank you. If you e-mail or fax your representative/senators, be sure to include your name and contact information. |
