Take Action

Everyone can be an arts and humanities advocate. Here's how:

Get to know your representatives:

• 2010 Montgomery County Council Members and the districts they represent
• 2010 Montgomery County Delegation (representatives to the state legislature)



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
