Everyone can be an arts and humanities advocate. Here's how:
Get to know your representatives:
Advocacy Etiquette:
- When calling your County Councilmembers or state legislator expect to speak with a staff member and not the Councilmember or legislator directly.
- Always be positive, respectful and polite.
- Thank them for their past support of your organization/group AND the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County.
Share with them that:
- The arts and humanities make immeasurable contributions to the quality of life and community that Montgomery County residents expect and enjoy
- The arts and humanities industry creates over 2,000 local jobs that stimulate our economy and are never exported out of the County
- Ask them to support the arts and humanities in Montgomery County in the FY11 budget
