How about joining NFIB North Dakota’s Advocacy Program? Examples of the things advocate members do are:

• testify at legislative hearings involving small business issues
• host lawmakers for a tour of your business operations
• be a quotable contact for the media
• assist in implementing the political strategy for elections, including recruitment, endorsements, fundraising, and other grassroots efforts
• help shape questions for the state ballot, the results from which are considered by lawmakers, state constitutional officers, and the bureaucracy to be the true voice of small business.

Nothing commands the attention of politicians better than hearing directly from a small business owner. Serving as an NFIB North Dakota Advocate opens the doors of legislative offices.
