I also want to share a few important resources as you get oriented:

2.	Here are links to the Training Workbook and the Advocacy Teams Toolkit, two great sources of information on our legislative campaign and many advocacy tools that will be useful to you in this work.
3.	I hope you’ll join us for our next National Call! FCNL hosts National Calls on the first Wednesday of every month at 8:00 p.m. ET. These calls include a high-level guest speaker, a policy update, and stories of success from Advocacy Teams across the country. You can join by clicking www.fcnl.org/NationalCall. 
Let me know what questions you have as you look over this information, and I would be happy to give you a call if you have any questions.
