The Cost of Getting This Wrong

Every day a Policy & Advocacy Director position stays open, your organization loses ground.

Effective advocacy can multiply organizational impact beyond direct service delivery

Directors must navigate lobbying regulations, coalition building, and legislative processes

Finding directors with both policy expertise and the strategic ability to build advocacy campaigns is rare
