Introduction

• Louise Suter (FNAL)

Summary of ideas as discussed so far. Current advocacy efforts are mostly focused on Congress. How can we establish more robust channels of communication with our funding agencies at the community-wide level? Is there a place for HEP advocacy at the State and local level within the US? Could international partners benefit from the tools we have developed for their own advocacy? Can we benefit from additional community communications with the executive branch, OMB (office of management and budget) and OSTP (office of science and technology policy)?
