September Chapter Training: GPA Governmental Advocacy
September 11, 2024 | 12:30-1:30 p.m. | Virtual | Free for GPA Members; $25 for Non-Members
The Toolkit, which was initiated in 2020 by an ad-hoc task group within GPA, has evolved into a comprehensive resource aimed at addressing governmental legislative issues affecting the grants process and industry at the federal level. Since its inception, the committee has transitioned into a formal GPA committee with a broader mandate. This includes not only the development and dissemination of the ToolKit, completed in 2022 but also providing training to local chapters and their members on its effective use. Additionally, the GPA Governmental Advocacy Committee now focuses on monitoring and responding to active legislation or reports at the federal level, as well as advocating for the recognition of GPA's role to Congressional leaders.
The Advocacy Toolkit training is designed to equip GPA members with the necessary tools and knowledge to engage in effective advocacy efforts at all levels. It encompasses best practices for advocacy and aims to empower members to actively participate in shaping legislative outcomes.
Learning Outcomes:
