As we continue to face state and city budget cuts during these tough economic times, enhancing our advocacy skills becomes even more vital as we strive to ensure the needs of the Asian Pacific American community are addressed.
Please join us to:
· Increase your knowledge of effective advocacy skills and strategies to support the Asian Pacific American community.
· Learn about the state budget process and how state laws are made.
· Strategize with participants on state budget advocacy efforts to support your organization and community’s needs!
What: As part of CACF’s capacity building project, we are offering FREE capacity building workshops focusing on leadership development, organizational development, program development and community engagement.
This project aims to build the capacity of Asian led and serving organizations to become more knowledgeable of public policies and advocacy strategies. With this project, we aim to ensure:
1.) the effectiveness and sustainability of organizations.
2.) organizations can provide better services, and
3.) Asian led and serving organizations can improve their knowledge of public policy to be better advocates for the community.
Please feel free to extend this invitation to fellow staff members and colleagues whom you think might be interested in attending this advocacy institute.
Light refreshments will be served.
Please contact Elizabeth Lee, Program Coordinator at 212-809-4675 x 108, with any questions and/or to RSVP for the advocacy institute.
