State Coordinators are recruited from Preservation Action’s Board of Directors to organize and encourage lobbying from Preservation Action members in their state. The role of the State Coordinator will in many cases be done in conjunction with the preservation statewide organization.
The State Coordinator will serve to identify members by congressional district, access their ability and availability to lobby, and organize their federal lobbying efforts. We want to ensure that each state is regularly in communication with their Senators and Congressman and that their lobbying efforts are well-conceived and as effective as possible. Some will be willing to travel to Washington, DC for Advocacy Week, while others may prefer to write letters, make phone calls, or undertake in-district lobbying.
If you do not see your state listed below, we need your help to find a coordinator! Or, consider becoming one yourself. If you’re interested in this important volunteer position, please contact us anytime.
