When it comes to advocacy, we have strength in numbers! But Kansas is a big state, and that can make it tough to communicate and travel for advocacy purposes. LeadingAge Kansas would like to support the creation of regional advocacy groups among our membership. Within these groups, members can support each other in grassroots advocacy, such as tours for elected officials, coffee chats, and whatever else the group wants to do. If you have interest in participating in the new Grassroots Advocacy Network contact Rachel.
