Abstract:
Building on the first part of this session looking at individual-level advocacy, seasoned advocates within the Academy’s Advocacy Council will continue to help participants pick up tips and strategies for being effective in their grassroots efforts. Lively role-playing opportunities and other communication exercises will offer conference attendees a fun, casual environment for building and strengthening advocacy skills. Participants will also learn how to reach out to state and federal legislators and different regulatory bodies to share information and request meetings to articulate key messages on behalf of the audiology profession. After attending both sessions, participants should have the tools to assume the essential role of audiology advocate.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify opportunities for engagement in advocacy for audiology priorities
  • Apply grassroots advocacy skills at the local, state, and national levels to advance audiology.
  • Describe the steps for effectively requesting and participating in a meeting with legislators or regulators to advocate for the interests of the audiology profession.
