Pre-Conference Session: Effective Advocacy Bootcamp!

  • Carrie Warwick-Smith (ACCT, VP for Public Policy)
  • Tracy Kruse, (VP for Development and External Affairs, Northeast Community College)
  • Jon Bauer (President, East Central College)

The pre-conference will be in the morning on Wednesday, September 14. It is a bootcamp for new presidents (who did not come out of a political field), vice presidents, and deans and others who are interested in learning effective advocacy skills. So many educators do not understand the world of advocacy or lobbying especially at the federal level. The presenters will share their experiences and advice from the perspectives of a professional policy maker, a vice president responsible for advocacy, and a college president.
