Grants and Government Advocacy -- #GPAConf17

Many folks know that I used to work in the U.S. House of Representatives. So, the title and subject of my session at the GPA Conference on Friday (November 10) is hardly surprising. What I find surprising is that many grant professionals don't believe they have a role in advocacy! So, here's the deal, come to my session and I promise you'll walk away with tools you can use to share your passion with your representatives. In this time of funding constraints, it is absolutely critical that your representatives know who your agency serves, why the services are necessary, and understand the impact of your programming.
