Legislative Workshop
Tuesday, June 19 7:00am-9:00am
FREE, Audience: Legislative Chairs
Is your state association approaching its policy work alone or as part of a coalition? Driving policy change alone is difficult, while working with partners as part of a coalition enhances your ability to be heard and to make an impact. Have you heard about coalitions, but aren’t quite sure how coalition-led advocacy works? Is your state association part of a coalition, but you are interested in understanding how to make its efforts more effective? Do you have success stories about coalitions to share? If you are curious about how state dental hygiene associations can work as part of coalition efforts to bring about policy changes, please be sure to attend the Legislative Workshop. Staff from Community Catalyst and ADHA will lead an interactive workshop designed to help participants understand what coalitions are and how individuals and organizations can work as part of successful coalitions. The workshop is ideal for state leaders and legislative chairs.
