VRLTA Webinar: Tips for Successful Advocacy in 2026
Tuesday, January 6, 2026 (10:00 AM - 11:00 AM) (EST)
Description
Join us January 6th, 2026 from 10:00 - 11:00 AM for an informative virtual session brought to you by the Virginia Restaurant, Lodging & Travel Association.
In this webinar, attendees will hear a 2026 issues briefing overview, learn about advocacy and communication strategies, do’s-and-don’t’s of General Assembly advocacy, and how to develop and maintain a lasting relationship with your representatives.
We'll prepare you to reach, connect, and leverage your state-level representatives and better pursue good policy for the restaurant, hotel/lodging, tourism, campground, and attractions industries.
If 2026 will be your first time joining the VRLTA Day on the Hill Legislative Meetings - this session will help prepare you for what's to come!
 | Join Tommy Herbert, VRLTA's Director of Government Affairs, for a primer on how best to get what you want from your elected officials. Tommy is a veteran of multiple legislative offices as well as government affairs shops, so he understands the advocacy process from both sides of the desk. |
Registration closes January 5th at 5:00 PM
