When is the last time you connected as a team to consider how you are advocating for change? Have you considered what you can do?
On October 9th, with the support of the Kalamazoo Community Foundation, we are hosting Advocacy: Unleashing Your Power presented by the Michigan League for Public Policy. Interested in learning more about what nonprofits can and cannot do? Watch, at your convenience, the online video Nonprofit Advocacy 101 presented by Jason Qu.
