Heritage organizations across the state are facing similar ongoing challenges such as funding, capacity, political and community investment, and are impacted by laws, policies, and budgets at all levels of government. Together as a strong network, the heritage preservation community has the opportunity and power to influence decisions to better support heritage preservation and their organizations. Join us as we dive into the role of advocacy in shaping policies and laws and how heritage organizations of all sizes can participate.
Plenary Speaker: Dr. Kevin Miller, Independent Sector
Dr. Kevin Miller is the Director of Research and Policy Analysis at Independent Sector, where he manages research on the health of the nonprofit sector, surveys and public opinion polling, and commissioned research. Dr. Miller will discuss recent reports released by Independent Sector, Retreat of Influence Report<https://independentsector.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/PENS-Advocacy-Report.pdf> and Pursuit of Influence Report<https://independentsector.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/The-Pursuit-of-Influence-final.pdf>, identifying a decline of nonprofits in the advocacy space and quantitative and qualitative data behind that.
The schedule of events also includes:

  *   Panel discussion with examples of mobilization in action from Oregon's heritage preservation community
  *   Round Robin with State and National heritage advocacy organizations
  *   Opportunity to build a regional mobilization network
  *   Workshop facilitated by Nonprofit Association's Director of Public Policy, Phillip Kennedy-Wong, on readying your organization for calls to action
