SUMMARY:Increasing Your Mission Impact Through Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes\, in our efforts to uncover the root causes of the problems our nonprofit seeks to address\, we learn that existing laws\, regulations\, or public and corporate policies hurt the people we serve.

Advocacy is one of the most effective tools nonprofits and foundations can use to advance their mission and serve their communities. \nThis session is for board members\, executive staff\, foundation leaders\, and others whose organizations are not currently engaged in advocacy and public policy work but are interested in exploring the idea and seeking credible information on this critical issue. \nSession Topics:\n\nWhat is advocacy\, and why must nonprofits engage in such advocacy efforts?\nWhat the law allows tax-exempt nonprofits to do\nBarriers to nonprofit engagement in advocacy and how to overcome them\nSpecific roles that board and staff members can play\nExamples of service provider nonprofits that have decided to engage in advocacy\nOverview of organizations and proven resources that can help\n\nKey Takeaways\n\nLeave with a toolkit of activities\, tools\, practices\, and case studies for exploring where advocacy fits in their nonprofit\, making decisions regarding advocacy\, and taking the first steps to building internal organizational capacity to engage in advocacy.\nDiscover entry points for advocacy that already exist in nonprofits\nLearn about ways to engage in advocacy without adding to staffing and budget\n\nPanel Presentation:\nThis session features a panel of nonprofit leaders engaged in advocacy. The panel will share how advocacy helps their organizations advance their missions and provide advice to nonprofit leaders interested in exploring ways to make advocacy work for their organizations and communities and resources nonprofits can tap to get started. \nPanelists: \n\nMartha Collins\, Member Services Director\, Urban Economic Development Association (UEDA)\nMatt Stienstra\, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Programs\, Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin\nJeanne Geraci\, Executive Director\, The Benedict Center\n\nSession Presenter: Frank Martinelli\, The Center for Public Skills Training\nFrank Martinelli has over 40 years of work\, training\, and consulting experience with various nonprofit and public sector organizations.
