From the Advocates I’ve Trained
"Very practical! So many of these sessions are filled with fluff and 'empowering' talk but no real action items. This one was very different! Lots of good tips that can be immediately actioned on!" - Regional advocacy training attendee (in-person)
"Bethany Snyder is a passionate and proficient at teaching effective legislative advocacy," National advocacy training attendee (virtual)
"Bethany doesn't just share advocacy tactics or success stories. She breaks down the importance of building long-term relationships, connecting with different levels of government, carefully considering timing and message, and so much more. She also explains how to do things right and why it matters. This session is invaluable for any (and every!) nonprofit and coalition." - National training attendee (virtual)
"Bethany energized pur health fellows and their colleagues to take a grassroots approach to advocacy efforts. Bethany's workshop provided specific strategies and tools that could be utilized right away, with compelling examples of advocacy work in action. Bethany's engaging approach helped demystify the advocacy process," Executive Director of a regional health organization (in-person)
