Hello Early Childhood Tribe!
As a newbie in advocacy, I am working at state and local levels to increase awareness of early childhood care and education and to increase active membership and participation at the state AEYC level and within affiliate chapters.
Please (really begging!) share some example's of what you have done to increase membership, get the word out about your organization to the general public, engage with families to learn about their needs, resources used to support advocacy work, successful events, legislative contact methods and so on...
Lastly, I will be conducting an Advocacy workshop at the South Dakota Early Childhood and Education convention and would appreciate any tips that would be helpful in forming this presentation with a goal of creating a SDAEYC advocacy committee. Please send any files or information to my inbox or post.
Much thanks!
Fran
