Good Trouble – Part 1

The Nonprofit Academy of Wisconsin is hosting a free two-part webinar on “the dos and don’ts of advocacy and lobbying”:

“Join the conversation and learn some effective methods of public policy and advocacy through direct contact with decision-makers and through grassroots campaigns.

Nonprofits have a responsibility to represent the interests of the people and communities they serve through public education, public policy advocacy, and by engaging in the public affairs of the community.   This is a two-part series on February 10th and February 17th at 9 a.m. central time.  You will have to register for both sessions to attend both.
