Requests to meet with the Member of Congress, and, 2. Requests to meet with congressional staff. As a rule, if you or anyone in your group is a constituent of the legislator, start by asking to meet with the Member of Congress (the constituent should make the request if possible), but don’t be offended if the MOC is unavailable. Take the best meeting you can get. If no one in the group is a constituent, ask to meet with the appropriate legislative aide. When you call the office, ask to speak to the Scheduler about setting up a meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 28 to discuss youth mentoring. Be sure to let the Scheduler know if constituents will be present. Be prepared to indicate roughly how many people will attend and offer a cell phone number for the Scheduler to reach you on the day your meetings.
