Getting Members of Congress to Your Event
May 1-4 & May 21-30
Our goal this year is for every Member of Congress to attend a Drug Court event during May. Senators and Representatives will be in their districts twice in May: May 1-4 and May 21-30. This is their opportunity to meet with you, their constituents. We encourage every Drug Court to invite their Members to attend a graduation ceremony, regular Drug Court session or special Drug Court event.
This is one of the best opportunities we have to make your Members lifetime supporters of Drug Courts. Click here to download instructions, sample invitations, and all the information you need to invite your Members of Congress.
In addition to inviting members of Congress, you can invite your governor, mayor, state legislators, chief of police, and local media. Nothing communicates the vision, purpose, and effectiveness of Drug Court as clearly as a graduation/commencement ceremony.
NADCP stands ready to help you secure the attendance of your Members of Congress. Please contact us for assistance!
