Webinar: Advocacy and Politicians

About the Webinar:

Presented in partnership with the BC Museums Association (BCMA), this panel features three current and former politicians. The panelists answer a series of questions :

• How often should you be in contact with local politicians, and what should that contact look like when you don’t have events planned to invite them to?
• Is advocacy more effective coming from groups or individuals? Does it matter that groups represent a politician’s constituency?
• What is your experience being between the sector and the government when advocating for heritage as a politicians?
