Training Workshops

CCNC Foundation sponsors trainings and speakers to teach North Carolina citizens how they can participate in the policy-making process, and how to advocate effectively.

Lobbying 101 is a basic "how to" program on how you, as an individual, can play an effective role in making sure that sound environmental policies are being considered and passed. Take a field trip to the General Assembly. Topics include:

• How a bill becomes a law & how legislative committees function
• Who impacts the legislative process?
• How to determine which legislators represent you and how to contact them
• Strategies for communicating effectively with your elected officials (preparing your position, making your point, and when & how to meet with your legislators)
