Advocacy involves communicating with broad constituencies, including 
elected officials, about what your museum does and why it is important.  
Too often museums relegate advocacy to the back burner because they 
don’t see the value in devoting time to advocacy. Advocacy needs to be 
an ongoing responsibility of everyone who cares about museums – staff, 
board members, volunteers, constituents, and the many people who value 
museums.  Making advocacy a part of ongoing operations can help build a 
stronger institution. Advocacy should be embraced as a best practice of 
museums.
Join instructor Karen Ackerman Witter for this 4 week online course 
intended for anyone interested in building support for your organization 
and being prepared in case of a proposed policy or action that could 
harm your institution.  The course will help to dispel the myth that 
non-profits can’t engage in advocacy. Participants will learn how to 
become more comfortable with advocacy and ways to incorporate advocacy 
into ongoing operations.
