The Nonprofit Association of the Midlands (NAM), Nebraska Civic Engagement Table (NCET), and the Coalition for a Strong Nebraska (CSN) are pleased to offer the following webinar series on topics related to policy advocacy this fall. Each webinar meets at 12:00 p.m.
NAM, NCET and CSN are organizations that each provide distinct services for Nebraska’s nonprofits. We partner to ensure we maximize our training and education resources to fuel our common interest in developing the policy advocacy skills of Nebraska’s nonprofits. Together, we have greater capacity to coordinate collaboration among nonprofits, and the ability to address broader goals such as changing the poverty narrative, improving access to the legislative process, working to remove barriers to more participation, strengthening relationships with policymakers and engaging the voices of those with lived experience.
Join three seasoned advocates as they discuss how they prepare and navigate the legislative session, including:
- Considerations to get involved in policy and advocacy
- How to evaluate if / when to get involved in a bill
- The importance of coalitions and coordinating with allies
- Short-term setbacks and long-term gains
Presenters:
Christopher (Spike) Eickholt, contract lobbyist
Jasmine L. Harris, Director of Public Policy and Advocacy, RISE
Tina Rockenbach, Executive Director, Community Action of Nebraska
Other webinars in the series are:
