Public Awareness, Engagement, and Advocacy | Virtual Standards for Excellence Implementation Workshop Series (6 of 6)
Wednesday, December 14 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM EST | Interactive Web Meeting
Moderated by: Tish Mogan, Standards for Excellence Director, PANO
Presented by: Standards for Excellence Licensed Consultant Linda Rentschler
 
If your answer to any of these questions is YES, the Virtual Standards for Excellence® Implementation Workshop Series is for you! This session, the last of six, covers the final Guiding Principle of the Standards for Excellence: Public Awareness, Engagement, and Advocacy. We’ll look at things like the 5 elements of an annual report, ways of engaging with the community, the definitions of advocacy and lobbying, registration and disclosure of lobbying activities, and more. We’ll provides lots of tools and resources for putting the information shared into practice, including:
  • Sample Policy on Public Policy
  • Sample Advocacy Policy
  • Checklist before Releasing Materials to the Public
 
Each session will be interactive, offering opportunities to learn from the wisdom in the room through peer-to-peer sharing. We’ll have large group discussions where you’ll discover useful tips and strategies for applying the Standards in your organization as well as small group discussions using breakout rooms, where you can really dig in to how others’ practices can help you improve your operations (and where you can share promising practices of your own!).
