SUMMARY:Advocacy 101: How to Be an Effective Local\, State\, and Federal Advocate for Camps
DESCRIPTION:In the old days\, camp professionals could afford to just keep their heads down and do the work. In recent years\, we have learned that one way or another\, federal\, state\, and local authorities can deeply impact our ability to run our camps\, for better or worse. Wage and Hour Laws\, public health regulations\, permissible hiring practices\, building codes\, fire codes\, disaster preparation\, insurance regulations\, and the ability to host international exchange visitors have all emerged as hot-button issues for camps across the country in the last few years. This session will help you learn the core skills of effective advocacy so that you can join with other camp leaders and engage with your state and local representatives and regulators to advocate for workable solutions. Plus\, advocacy is a skill set that will serve you well with your boards\, funders\, camp families\, and others. Come join the fun!
