Nonprofit people care so much about their missions. They've courageously stepped forward to make a difference in their communities, and they'll move heaven and earth to deliver programs that improve lives. We need them to do one more courageous thing on top of all of this. We need them to advocate for their missions with policymakers who can influence budgets, policies, and implementation of public programs. We need them to add advocacy to their nonprofit portfolio.
This session brings together an adult learning expert and a nonprofit advocacy expert to explore what associations, nonprofit capacity organizations, and funders can do to increase nonprofit advocacy. We'll provide alternatives to dry presentations about lobbying rules and doom-and-gloom calls to action. You'll leave the session energized to evangelize nonprofit advocacy in ways that will motivate busy nonprofit people.
