Policy engagement doesn't stop when a legislative session ends. Many of the most important opportunities to connect with state lawmakers happen in between sessions, when ideas are still taking shape.
Join the AAAS Local Science Engagement Network (LSEN) on Tuesday, May 12 at 3:30 p.m. ET to learn how to engage state policymakers between legislative sessions. This event is open to the public. Please feel free to share with your networks and colleagues who may be interested.

Science policy expert Rachel Owen will share practical strategies for engaging lawmakers outside of formal sessions, including through interim committees, district meetings, site visits, and informal conversations.
You'll also hear from the AAAS Office of Government Relations and the AAAS Center for Scientific Evidence in Public Issues on how they build trusted relationships with policymakers and support the use of scientific evidence in decision-making at the state and local level.
Learn how policy ideas are shaped before bills are introduced and how your expertise can help inform future priorities while building long-term, trusted relationships.
