Advocacy Bootcamp Webinar Series

Part 3 of 3: Get Personal: PACs and Individual Action

WEBINAR

Advocacy Bootcamp Webinar Series

COVID-19 has presented a unique opportunity for aging services providers to hone their advocacy skills. The pace of change in laws and rules is rapid. Public officials have rarely been so interested in what is happening in nursing homes and how home and community based providers are meeting the needs of older Ohioans who are isolated in their homes.

Onsite meet-and-greets with lawmakers have given way to more intimate Zoom briefings, and candidates are working to understand how the topics covered in the headlines are playing out in their district. This election season, make a point to brush up on your advocacy skills, with a focus on nuts and bolts, grassroots action and political giving.

Each session of this series will include assignments, building upon each presentation to help participants build
relationships with local leaders and develop a plan for grassroots action.
