Government affairs doesn’t have to be intimidating, political, or painfully boring. This engaging panel is designed to break down advocacy in a way that’s relatable, practical, and—yes—actually enjoyable.

    Simple, realistic ways to start small, leverage your expertise, and advocate with confidence.
