SANTA BARBARA, CA – UCSB Lobby Corps plans to kick off the 2017-2018 academic year with an infosession and orientation. The event is open to all UCSB students, and marks the beginning of the Lobby Corps membership drive. The meeting will take place in the Nati Conference Room (on the second floor of the Associated Students building) and begins at 6:30 PM on October 5.
The infosession and orientation will include introductions and icebreakers, an overview of Lobby Corps, updates on activity at the Federal, State, and local levels, and, of course, lots of pizza.
Incoming Co-Chairs Spencer Brandt (State and Federal) and Ashley Selki (Local) are eager to build a team of students that are hardworking, dedicated, and interested in learning more about the political process. There is a place in Lobby Corps for every student – regardless of one’s level of political or organizing experience.
Lobby Corps is an organization that strives to unite activism, professionalism, and strategic planning to advocate for student needs.We strive to represent student interests in political institutions by fighting for student rights, people-powered democracy, and affordable, accessible, and quality higher education for all. Lobby Corps seeks to mirror the unique, diverse, and forward thinking nature of the UCSB community, and advocate for student needs – be it in Washington D.C., or Isla Vista.
Lobby Corps currently has five unfilled positions on the Executive Board. Applications for Internal Director, External Director, Communications Director, Scheduling Director, and Legislative Director are open via Associated Students Committee on Committees (coc.as.ucsb.edu). The Co-Chairs encourage all interested students to apply.
