The One Thing That ALWAYS Works in Getting Policymakers to Listen from ALA<br>Washington on Vimeo.<br><br>We reveal the secrets to getting policymakers at all levels – whether your<br>local city councilperson, a state legislator or a member of the U.S. Congress<br>
– to take libraries seriously. If you’re looking for more funding, a<br>better policy environment or just a little positive attention, this is the<br>session for you!<br>We outline the differences between being heard and being agreed with and how<br>
you can move policymakers from one side to the other. We also look at five<br>critical steps to capturing the attention and support of your policymakers<br>that are effective either as a follow-up for attendees of the ALA Legislative<br>
Advocacy Day rally or as stand-alone efforts to boost awareness. Attendees<br>will come away from the session with a concrete plan for moving forward on<br>core relationship-building activities.<br><br>You may view the latest post at<br>
