| LOCAL AND NATIONAL EXPERTS WILL DISCUSS THE CHALLENGES OF ADVOCACY FOR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ON MARCH 13
Minnesota’s nonprofit organizations have a long history of advocacy and public policy development. How do we compare to other states? What are best practices for local organizations? The Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs will host a panel discussion about the “Opportunities and Challenges of Nonprofit Advocacy” from noon to 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 13, in the Humphrey Forum.
The discussion will offer a broad national view of nonprofit organizations and a local analysis of the advocacy being done by nonprofits throughout Minnesota. The panelists include Tufts University professor Jeff Berry, a leading expert in the areas interest groups, citizen participation, nonprofits, and public policymaking; Marcia Avner, director of public policy for the Minnesota Council of Nonprofits; and Susie Brown, public policy director at Family and Children’s Service.
Lunch will be served. Please RSVP by March 7 to Karen McCauley at meyer094@umn.edu or (612) 624.2465. This event is co-sponsored by the Public and Nonprofit Leadership Center, the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance, and the Cowles Endowment for the Study of Public Service.
