Free Webinar Series: the Power of Board Advocacy

Share:

Ben Miksch, Affordable Housing Policy and Advocacy Specialist

In support of the Stand for Your Mission campaign, BoardSource and the Alliance for Justice are hosting a series of free webinars on why advocacy is a critical tool for helping nonprofits accomplish their goals. The series will also explore best practices for the boards of nonprofits interested in doing everything they can to support their mission.

I have been following Stand for Your Mission closely, especially since they released this excellent discussion guide for boards on the power of board advocacy. We’ve been talking about the power of board advocacy with members of the Housing Alliance for years now, and it’s exciting to see the rest of the country catching on to what we already know here in Washington State.

I’m eager to hear what they have to say on these webinars… and did I mention they’re free?
