Have you found yourself in the position to advocate for your organization with an elected official? Maybe you knew what to do, but chances are, you were a little nervous and uncertain.
Presenter Christy Filby, whose job it is to advocate on behalf of the Illinois YMCAs with local, state, and federal legislators, will tell you how she does it and how you can, too.
When: Tuesday, May 17, 2022 from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM CDT
Where: NIU Rockford 8500 East State St, Rockford, IL 61108
Session Details: Fundraisers are often the chief relationship officers in our organizations. Because of this, we are often drawn into conversations and advocacy opportunities with our local, regional, and federal elected officials. This is happening even more often now that there are many governmental grants available.
Join us as Christy Filby, executive director of Illinois State Alliance of YMCAs, helps us understand why we should advocate for our organizations, when we should advocate, and most importantly, how we can advocate effectively for our organizations.
Bring members of your team who might also have these responsibilities (marketing, executive director) so that you can create a plan and be ready when the next opportunity presents itself.
