Government Relations PDF Print E-mail

The Ohio Society of Professional Engineers is the single, most powerful voice representing Ohio's professional engineers ...

How do we protect the public and our professional engineers from poorly crafted legislation that could erode Ohio's strong engineering licensure tradition?

It's a simple formula:  our expert government relations staff works with our members to tell our story at the Ohio Statehouse.  Legislators and their staff need to know what you think, and they need your expertise.  If you don't tell them, no one else will.

Getting involved in advocating to your legislators is one of the most important things you can do to protect the engineering profession in Ohio.

NSPE-Ohio offers publications and expert, personal guidance to our members that help them learn how to work with state and federal legislators and agency staff.

  • NSPE-Ohio's "Giving Testimony at the Ohio Statehouse" reviews the formal process of testifying on legislation, including protocol rules and tips for making your message more powerful.
  • "Do's and Dont's of Lobbying Your Legislators" describes how you can create effective and beneficial relationships with your local legislators.
  • Want to create an effective meeting between your local legislators and chapter members?  Consider hosting a Backyard BBQ.  NSPE-Ohio's government relations experts tell you how.
