Why is grassroots advocacy important to the success of California orchestras? Because elected officials respond to their constituents.
Mass communication from orchestras, board members, artistic and administrative staff, and audience members is the most effective way to persuade legislators and their staff.
Writing, faxing, and e-mailing letters, making phone calls and personal visits to the State Capitol and district offices is how you keep your elected officials informed on the issues that affect orchestras and your community.
ACSO encourages its members to take action about the issues that concern orchestras locally, statewide, and nationally.
