Educating Public Officials on Preservation Policy
Educating Public Officials on Preservation Policy
An effective advocate for historic preservation is able to communicate the value of specific historic preservation projects to local officials and politicians whose decisions and votes can effect change. However, it’s also essential to have a strong grasp of the political landscape and to know which aspects of a given project will resonate the most with a particular individual. The resources in this Advocate course will assist you to create a strong preservation advocacy message, understand the differences between educating, advocacy, and lobbying, and gain a deeper understanding of Congressional structures that affect how you should design an advocacy campaign.

The Advocate course provided fundamental skills and strategies for real world interactions with policy makers. The tips on developing strategies and tactics were significant and practical. This course combined with the Planner course should provide a solid foundation for historic preservation efforts.
I could've gotten the same information from a 2-click google search. There was no original content, just a collection of links to other organizations' websites. I would be demanding a refund had I paid for this class.
Excellent course on advocacy. I really found the viewpoints of different organizations and individuals and their approaches to advocacy very helpful. This is because 1 size doesn't fit all.
