This webinar is designed for nonprofit staff and board leaders who want to know how to make an impact through the lawmaking process but don’t know what’s possible. Lesson # 1: It is 100% legal for 501 (c) (3) organizations to lobby!

Nonprofits are in a continuous struggle to make life better for the people and communities they serve. Yet less than 3% of all charities actively lobby for their organization and the causes they want to address. This Webinar – designed both for folks who are new to the idea of lobbying and those who want to learn new strategies – will provide a simple, low-cost roadmap for achieving success in the legislative process.

Pat Libby is one of the nation’s leading experts on nonprofit lobbying. A long-time nonprofit leader, self-described “recovering academic”, and author of The Empowered Citizens Guide, she will pull back the curtain to help you understand, think through, and learn:

· How the lawmaking process works!

· How to run an effective, inexpensive, and successful campaign – even if you’ve never done one before!

· How to frame your issue effectively!

· Strategies for identifying and involving diverse stakeholders in your campaign!

· Tips for identifying legislator targets!

· Strategies for approaching legislators!

· And MORE!

For years, Pat has been teaching everyday citizens how to pass laws. Most of them knew next to nothing about the legislative process when they got started, yet many surprised themselves by passing a law on their first try. For those who are passionate about creating change in their communities, cities, or states, Pat provides a simple empowering framework that anyone can understand and use.
