Government Employees: Advancing the Policy Conversation

Government Employees: Advancing the Policy Conversation

January 24, 2024

With new legislative sessions starting in 2024, an election season underway, and an ever-changing landscape of federal and state policies that impact our initiatives, folks want to understand the rules around advocacy activities that apply to their work. How can we engage in valuable advocacy without getting in trouble? Because the rules differ for nonprofits and for government employees, we are presenting two sessions, each tailored to the unique needs of nonprofits and government employees.

Staff in government agencies are uniquely positioned with deep expertise on key public-policy issues. But various laws and regulations restrict how they can engage in policy-change campaigns. This session will examine how government employees can safely be involved with efforts to influence policy.
