It’s nearly election campaign time – is your policy agenda ready?
Developing a policy agenda – a set of issues or problems aimed at getting the attention of policymakers and decisionmakers – is an important step for nonprofits seeking change in the upcoming provincial election period. This session will help you understand how to develop a policy agenda and use it during the upcoming election cycle to get attention for your organization’s policy ideas.
The Policy Lunch & Learn series brings together nonprofit policy expertise with collective community knowledge and networking. In this session, Alexa Briggs, CCVO Manager, Policy & Research, and Lina Khatib, CCVO Policy Analyst will outline the steps involved in creating a policy agenda. Join other nonprofit professionals in sharing experiences, building connections, and increasing your impact with a policy agenda.
This is a brown bag lunch event, coffee and dessert will be provided.
