Lucas Overby, Libertarian Candidate for U.S. House District 13, has accepted an invitation to attend the CVP Citizen Lobbyist educational event that will be offered to those in the community who wish to learn more about how to be effective communicators with their elected representatives. Karena Morrison, CoFounder of Citizen Voice Project, will be providing inspiration to empower local citizens with the knowledge that their voices can be magnified through effective strategies that have been developed through years of experience. Citizen Voice Project is a nonpartisan educational consulting group with the goals of inspiring citizens with the tools to engage in their community on the issues that they wish to have addressed by both their elected representatives and potential candidates for office.

This event will focus on empowering communities with citizen lobbyists, will cover strategies in activating our neighbors, effective methods of contacting elected officials, how to best lobby your representatives about the issues of concern in your community and organizing a social media strategy to effectively message your community issue to a broader audience. The opportunity to meet Lucas Overby, Candidate for Congress, District 13 will be offered after the workshop is completed. The other candidates for Congressional District 13 have also been invited to attend the entire workshop.  Seating is limited so please reserve your seat by September 17, 2013, through the CVP.
