Legislative Training
The heart of NARFE activities is work on legislation at all levels, from NARFE staffers
contacting legislators in Washington, to informed NARFE members writing letters, making phone calls or meeting face to face
with legislators in their home districts.
There are a number of tools available to train and inform NARFE members.
A good place to start is with a presentation that NARFE Assistant Legislative Director Dan Adcock made to the WSFC Convention
in 2007, "Grassroots Legislative Training".
