Destination Frankfort '20 - Newcomers GuideOK, so you’ve never attended KTIA’s legislative event, Destination Frankfort. Let’s start with this: you are forgiven. Now, let’s move on to the reasons we hear from people who haven’t previously attended:
1. We are a small organization and I can’t be away from the office. Response: Destination Frankfort is one of the most crucial and important KTIA events and if all of us aren’t engaged as advocates, your organization could become even smaller. So record and type your out of office messages and head to Frankfort! 2. I don’t like politics and government issues. Response: Politics and government issues are part of everyone’s reality – both in your life and in your job – and during a time of uncertainty, it is critical that we have a voice behind our issues. Plus, in these days who does like politics and government? 3. Other KTIA members will attend, so I don’t need to. Response: Actually, we don’t hear this one admitted to out loud, but we’re guessing it’s the number one reason for a lot of non-attendees. Every voice counts and the more advocates we have, the stronger we are as a unified front. Believe us when we say, we need you and your presence is important. 4. I know its important, but I’m not sure I understand the issues and I’m not comfortable talking to legislators. Response: We get this one and can help. Read on for more information and remember, we are always just a phone call away to answer your questions and to explain things more in depth if needed. Here’s what you need to know:
Destination Frankfort is important and we hope you will make every effort to attend. If you have any questions at all or if we can be of any assistance, contact Hank Phillips or Sarah Brock.
