GENERAL TIPS FOR ADVOCACY

Be gracious Always begin by thanking the legislator for providing the
opportunity to hear your ideas, opinions etc Legislators who support
adolescent reproductive and sexual health, in particular, receive a lot of
negative attention from the opposition A sincere thank you will be
greatly appreciated

Be professional Be professional in both dress and manner; dont say
negative things about other legislators or public figures

Be focused Stick with one issue per call or letter Information about more
than one topic will only confuse the message and dilute your point

Do your homework As part of your preparation, research the legislators
position on your issue You can find out through voting records, speeches,
newspaper articles, debates and other organizations that work on this area
Advocacy organizations, particularly those with Political Action Committees
often track legislators votes and can provide voting guides Explore the
legislators personal connections with the issue: do they have teenagers
themselves? Frame the presentation for maximum effectiveness based on your
knowledge about the legislators constituency, views, background and
interests

COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY IN NEW ROLES

Changing business conditions are providing opportunities for information
professionals to put their skills into practice in different areas Some of
the functions now assumed by information professionals include those of
analyst, consultant, negotiator, and trainer In addition to practical know-
how, the information professional must be sensitive to how he/she
communicates in these roles for maximum effectiveness In all of these
roles, careful listening is a crucial element of successful communication

Analyst

It is exciting for information professionals to move beyond the find-and-
retrieve stage of information gathering to actually analyze the information
for input into business decisions Analysis might involve culling nuggets
of high-value information from lengthy articles or reports, pulling
together the big picture view from a variety of background items, or
reviewing pertinent information and then synthesizing it into a concise

Tips for Effective Presentations

You can find directives on how to make good presentations at the following
link:

http://wwwprborg/pdf/ConnectingPeopleSects12pdf

In general:

1 Do not turn your presentation into a reading session, either from
written notes or from visual aids This makes for a very dull and
ineffective presentation

2 In real life you have about 15-30 minutes to convince your audience
about something Make the best use of this time and reduce your message to
essentials People can always go back and read your full report if they
want to In fact, you can refer them to it in your presentation Think the
following: What is it I want my audience to take home in their head right
now, regardless of whether they ever read my full report or, for that
matter, ever see me again? Design your presentation accordingly Its your
chance to influence people Take advantage of it

3 Develop such command over the topic that, in principle, you can stand in
front of the audience and give a well structured oral presentation without
visuals

4 Once you have this command,
