Building relationships with elected officials is an important part of nonprofit advocacy and community engagement. These relationships help legislators better understand the essential work nonprofits do in their communities, the needs of the people they serve, and the challenges and opportunities facing local organizations.
Connecting with legislators and their staff can also help nonprofits share information about community needs, highlight gaps in services, and ensure that the voices of the people they serve are represented in policy discussions.
Join us for a conversation with elected officials and legislative representatives about how nonprofit organizations can build meaningful, ongoing relationships with their offices. Panelists will share practical advice on how to make connections, communicate effectively, stay informed, and identify opportunities for engagement.
