This 60-minute session has been developed to empower you with an in-depth awareness of:
- NFPs rights when advocating on behalf of a cause;
- the most effective resources to ulitise;
- how best to influence your target audience.
Pro Bono Australia, in collaboration with the Human Rights Law Centre, is launched a new report, Civil Voices, which researched the state of not-for-profit advocacy.
Based on the findings of Civil Voices, this webinar will provide unique insights into how to overcome the real and perceived fears not-for-profit organisations face when advocating.
Join sector experts Murray Baird, ACNC Assistant Commissioner, General Counsel, Marc Purcell, ACFID CEO, and Krystian Seibert, Philanthropy Australia Advocacy & Insight Manager as they arm you with the tools you need to amplify your advocacy efforts.
In this interactive webinar, you’ll have the opportunity to have your questions answered live by the panel.
Can’t make the date? All registered participants will be sent a post-webinar pack three business days after the session. The packs include the audio and visual recordings, slide deck, and webinar book.
