2010 Lobby Day Announcement

The California League of Off-Road Voters (CLORV) presents an opportunity for Off-Road Vehicle users and their families to visit the State Capitol and legislative offices during the annual CLORV Legislative Advocates Event – commonly called “OHV Lobby Day” – on Monday April 26th 2010.

Visiting members belong to various off-road user groups including: the American Motorcyclist Association National District along with the District 36 Competition (Northern California), District 37 Competition (Southern California), American Sand Association (ASA), the California Off-Road Vehicle Association (CORVA), California Association 4Wheel Drive Clubs, Inc. (CA4WDC), California Nevada Snowmobile Association (CNSA), Friends of Oceano Dunes, Off Road Business Association (ORBA) and the San Diego Off-Road Coalition (SDORC).

Attendees are invited to arrive on Sunday April 25th, to attend an Off-Road Volunteer Advocates Workshop sponsored by CORVA and AMA District 37 Competition from 4 – 6 PM. The presentation will focus on the various types of OHV groups; effective advocacy and a thorough explanation and importance of the OHV volunteer activist and Lobby Day. Pizza & sodas will be provided.

On Monday April 26th, attendees will be visiting all Assembly and Senate offices throughout the day (morning and afternoon appointments). Their goal will be to introduce themselves to legislative staff with hopes of creating a positive and personal relationship. Attendees are encouraged to include their entire family in the activities and promote a positive image for the Off-Road community. For some, this might be the first time to encounter the actual legislative activities and should be a rewarding experience for all.

A special buffet-luncheon presentation will be held at the California State Association of Counties Conference Center (CSAC) – (located at 1029 K Street, 2nd floor – near the Capitol building) on Monday April 26th from noon until approximately 1:30pm. A variety of guest speakers will make presentations, including a representative from the campaign office of Meg Whitman and Daphne Greene of the OHMVR Division, along with many other important guests.

In the evening there will be an Open Reception, at Chops Restaurant located at 1117 11th Street, near the Capitol building, from 5:30 to 7:00PM when CLORV will be presenting some individual and annual awards. Legislators and their staff will join CLORV attendees at this event.
