WCNN Peer Learning: How to Advocate for those you Serve

Join us for a morning discussion on:
-What is advocacy (how it's different from lobbying) and why it's totally legal
-How to use social media in advocacy
-Bringing up uncomfortable topics with donors and constituents
-How to talk about those you serve while being sensitive to their experiences.
-How to engage the board in advocacy
-And more!

Bring your questions but also stories and lessons learned of your own experience in advocating for those you serve.
