Taking Action for Animals Conference (July 16-18, 2005 in Washington, DC)

Follow-up from the Effective Advocacy Session on July 17, 2005

It was great meeting many of you at the Taking Action for Animals conference in Washington, DC. As a follow-up to the event, I've posted both PowerPoints (mine and Nancy Perry's) and my handouts from the session.

And for those who asked, YES! I do this kind of speaking for a living and would love to speak with you about offering a presentation for your organization. I've worked with a number of national, state and local-level groups to help them be more effective in the advocacy arena and would love to do the same for you. Click here to learn about my workshops.

Please feel free to e-mail me at info@advocacyguru.com if you have any questions. Thanks again and Happy Advocating!
