Advocacy Boot Camp - August 9

Michigan Nonprofit Association and the Detroit Food and Fitness
Collaborative present Advocacy Boot Camp on August 9. Reserve your seat
today!

Advocacy Boot Camp (8:30am - 12:00noon)
This half-day intensive session will have you ready to advocate for your
cause in no time! You will learn the basics of nonprofit advocacy,
including why it's important and what is legal. We will also provide an
overview of various advocacy tools and strategies - including how to
develop your messaging and advocacy plan. We will also have time to break
into groups to begin to develop your own advocacy plan. And if that's not
enough, we will also learn tips from a nonprofit leader in advocacy
efforts

But Wait! There's More!
Advocacy Boot Camp is taking place in the morning but you are welcome to
join MNA and the Detroit Food and Fitness Collaborative for the afternoon
session - Farm Bill 101.

Farm Bill 101 (1:00pm - 4:00pm)
For everyone working for a more equitable food system, there will be an
afternoon session on the Farm Bill and its impact on urban areas. This
session will take a deep dive into the legislation and why it's important
to know how the Farm Bill affects our food system from production to
consumption. Participants will also begin to outline action steps leading
up to the bill's reauthorization in 2012.
