Several of the CIL Core Services are all about advocacy\, but are we succeeding?

Unsure of where the line between lobbying and advocacy is\, and therefore not going near it? \n\n\n\nWell\, have we got the teleconference / webinar for you! \n\n\n\nJoin us as we cut through the seemingly complicated maze of rules and explore with us as we think creatively about achieving our core services goals\, using the resources available to us. \n\n\n\nTarget Audience: This presentation is open to all CIL and SILC staff members\, directors\, and board members and all are encouraged to attend. \n\n\n\nRegistration Fee: This presentation is free for NCIL members\, and $25 for non-members to attend\, but we do need you to register prior to the event. Registrations must be received before Noon Eastern on March 13. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\n\nLearn what activities a CIL/SILC/non-profit can do with what type of funding\n\n\n\nLearn about how one CIL has begun to engage participants in advocacy skill building and activities\n\n\n\nLearn the difference between advocating and lobbying\n\n\n\nLearn to provide the core services while complying with relevant restrictions\n\n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nKimberly Tissot proudly serves as the Executive Director of Able SC where she guides the staff in applying the philosophy of Independent Living to real situations.
