Big Dreams for Little Voices:

Public Policy Advocacy Training Sessions

Children's Advocacy Network, Boston, MA

The Office of Child Advocacy (OCA) at The Children's Hospital in

Boston is offering three training sessions for

people who want to be a voice for children through public policy

advocacy. The training is a great opportunity for beginner advocates

to get comfortable with advocacy basics, and it's an excellent

refresher for more

experienced advocates. Judy Meredith, lobbyist and dynamic advocacy

coach with The Public Policy Institute, has more than thirty years

experience creating change through legislative advocacy. Judy will

share the rules and

tools of effective public policy advocacy, using real-life case

studies and proven techniques.
