Many of us are passionate about a park, trail, legislative bill or state policy, but frequently, we are unaware of how to take that interest and turn it into positive action. This training session by the AMC will provide participants with the tools and understanding necessary to get more involved. Participants can bring their own examples to work on and we will:
- Clarify the main goals and create an agenda for action
- Practice speaking up in public about your project
- Discuss examples of successful campaigns (and perhaps others…)
- Get shortcuts for written and personal communication with officials
- Get sources of information
