Association’s mission and relate matters of importance to friends and neighbors. Chapter members are also encouraged to attend local Congressional events and meetings as scheduled by their Delegate(s). There are 53 AMAC Action Chapters throughout the United States and a total of 66 Chapter meetings were held with a reported attendance by over 1380 AMAC members and friends in 2020. AMAC members and friends heard elected officials and candidates speak, learned about relevant issues, and participated in discussions regarding the Second Amendment, health care policy, and election integrity among other topics. AMAC Action Delegate Program Delegates are members of AMAC Action Chapters and are volunteer liaisons for AMAC Action to their local Congressional office. They are the lead contact for all Congressional communication within the local District and are trained to articulate AMAC’s mission and stance on key issues. Each Delegate is associated with the Congressional office in the District where they live and vote, and coordinate all local Congressional activity in their District. This includes scheduling meetings with Representatives and candidates, organizing Meet & Greet events, and other similar events. There are nearly 300 AMAC Action Delegates in Congressional Districts throughout the country. In 2020, approximately 27 meetings with local Congressional offices from Alaska to Florida were led by AMAC Action Delegates and attended by AMAC members and friends. These meetings connect the AMAC membership with their local Member of Congress and give them an opportunity to let their voice be heard on issues that are important to them. These meetings also complement the work of the Government Relations Team in Washington, D.C. while further building Congressional relationships while raising AMAC’s profile. The AMAC Action team has challenged itself to continuously expand this program until all 435 Congressional Districts are represented by motivated, engaged Delegates. AMAC Action Regional Representatives AMAC Action retains a team of Regional Representatives who visit Congressional offices in multi-state regions. Regional Representatives act on behalf of AMAC’s legislative mission while working closely with local members to schedule Congressional events. AMAC Action currently has Regional Representative coverage in Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, and Illinois. In 2020, AMAC Action Regional Representatives met with approximately 20 Congressional offices in their regions. Virtual Events Responding to guidelines set forth restricting in-person meetings and aided by the strong work of AMAC Action Delegates and Chapter Leaders, 55 virtual Meet & Greet events were held with Congressional incumbents and candidates across the country in 2020. For incumbents, these events consisted of updates around their District and in Washington, D.C., while candidates used these occasions to introduce themselves and articulate their positions on policies important to AMAC members. Each event also included question and answer sessions to give AMAC members the opportunity to interact with their representative or candidate. These events proved to be very popular with AMAC members and AMAC Action is planning to expand them in future election cycles.
