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.
