Today started off a little differently than the past couple of days. Today, we drove to Burlington to meet a Representative regarding a bill that we wanted changed. We brought our clients with us and were able to effectively express our desires and opinions.
We then drove back and had a prep session during lunch for the meeting we were to have later in the afternoon. We discussed a specific bill and planned our arguments and what we would negotiate for during the meeting later with the opposing party.
After lunch, we went straight to meeting which lasted quite a while (3.5 hours), but I loved it. I was able to see how negotiations were done regarding a certain bill and how many steps it has taken and will take for things to be finalized. It gave me great insight into the whole process and I was very impressed with the amount of work Ms. DeVivo and Ms. Sams do in preparation for just one meeting.
