As association executives, it’s incumbent on us to be aware of, participate, influence, and respond to legislation – whether those factors affect the organizations we serve or even the association industry itself. Join us to learn how leaders stay not just informed but ready to mobilize and to know when. What is the right time to involve your members in the advocacy process? All the time? Sometime? Is it an issue the organization must face alone or is coalition building required? What external factors should be in focus when using advocacy to create positive changes affecting an association and its members? Using examples at both the state and federal levels, including the ongoing discussion about potential changes to tax laws affecting nonprofits, hear how associations can best equip themselves, and work together for the future.
