Effective messaging helps advocates communicate key points to their audience that can potentially influence their level of support. This Trying Together workshop is for ECE professionals who have taken Advocacy 101 or any other foundational advocacy training and would like to take the next step in preparing to speak with elected officials. Instructors will review early childhood research and effective messaging such as brain science, return on investment, impact on workforce and business community, and high-quality teaching. Attendees will leave the workshop with talking points for meeting with elected officials to advocate for early childhood.
This session will be virtual via Zoom. Register online to obtain the Zoom link.
