HOW-TO SERIES WEBINAR

Deliver a Compelling Elevator Pitch

Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 3:00 PM (ET)

Presented by: Tammy Barlet, VP of Government Affairs and Faisal Sulman, Legal Fellow

Want to make your ideas stand out to decision-makers? Learn how to deliver a clear, compelling elevator pitch on a legislative issue that captures attention and drives action. In this session, we will break down:

  • What an elevator pitch is — and how it’s used in advocacy, policymaking, and campus organizing
  • Why it matters — how a concise, well-crafted legislative pitch can influence leaders, build support, and advance policy change
  • How to deliver one effectively — step-by-step guidance on structuring your message, communicating impact, and making your case in under two minutes

Whether you are preparing for Hill Day, advocating on campus, or pitching a new initiative for your chapter, this webinar will provide you the tools to communicate your message clearly and professionally.
