In March 2010, Legal Aid staff and board members traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with the seven members of the Ohio Congressional delegation who represent Legal Aid's clients, including Representatives Fudge (OH-10), Kaptur (OH-9), Kucinich (OH-10), LaTourette (OH-14), and Sutton (OH-13), and Senators Voinovich and Brown. The goal of the meetings was to update the Congressional delegation on Legal Aid activities over the past year and highlight an appropriations request made for Legal Aid's employment law practice. Legal Aid's board president Richard Panza believes "these Capitol Hill visits can become an annual occurrence so we can keep our representatives updated on the work we do in Northeast Ohio."
