Interested in becoming involved in advocacy, but not sure how to approach it?
For many, Civics 101 is a bit rusty and the keys points to Schoolhouse Rock's “I’m Just a Bill” and “Three Ring Government” are elusive. Below are two presentations to help you gain a better understanding of how to effectively advocate for you and your organization's interests.
- Advocacy 101 presentation. This presentation reviews:
- How to Schedule a Meeting
- How to Prepare for a Meeting
- Tips on Having an Effective Meeting
- Meeting Follow Up
- Congress 101 presentation. This presentation offers a "refresher" on who and how laws are made
