Description: Advocacy with elected officials is critical to ensure that the U.S. continues to be a hub for innovation and scientific discovery. However, it’s not enough for organizations like the American Association of Anatomists to advocate for science—policymakers want to hear from voters too. There are many ways for AAA members to engage in advocacy activities including privately meeting your legislators in your local community, writing a letter-to-the-editor, or attending a town-hall meeting. This webinar will provide an overview of basic advocacy skills and techniques, discuss best practices in communicating messages about science, and review online advocacy resources available to AAA members. Participants will also receive tips for how to respond to scenarios they may encounter when meeting with their legislators.
