The goal of Advocacy Champions is simple, we want anyone who cares about aging services to be an advocate and be able to contact their elected officials and help accomplish our mutual advocacy goals. Components of the Advocacy Champions initiative include:
- The Advocacy Champion Toolkit is meant to give you the tools to learn how to send email, make phone calls, engage with media and even hold in-person meetings with elected officials, with our guidance and support.
- Track Your Engagement is a simple-to-use grassroots engagement form to help advocates track their important interactions with your elected officials. If you engage those who represent you, you can simply fill out the following form to share your experiences.
- Grassroots Survey – Your Relationship with Your Elected Officials is designed to help us understand the meaningful relationship you have with your elected officials. As we saw so clearly in the 2019 session, your relationships are key to successful advocacy outcomes. This new tool and its results, which LeadingAge shares with its state affiliates, will help gauge the reach of our advocacy network. Through this brief questionnaire you can provide information on the issues that are important to you, the stakeholders within your network and the level of advocacy you can help us with in our campaigns. Your participation will make a tremendous difference. There is no right or wrong answer to any of the questions, we simply ask for your honest feedback. Some questions will ask if you personally know certain elected officials representing you at the state or federal level. Please do not feel that there is an expectation that you do, as most people will not. Click here to begin your questionnaire
