On Wednesday afternoon, June 8th, Jeannie Fox, MCN's deputy public policy director, will be giving us an update on the Minnesota Legislative session and a primer on Nonprofit Advocacy at the Grand Rapids Area Library.
Legislative Session Wrap-Up
Come meet with other nonprofit leaders in your area to discuss the results of the 2011 legislative session. Jeannie Fox, MCN's deputy public policy director, will report from her role of monitoring and advancing legislative issues related to the nonprofit sector and will give a review of the legislative process and what may remain to be done. We would also love to hear reports of your own organization's issue area if you have been tracking legislation.
Basics of Nonprofit Advocacy
The Session Wrap-Up component will be followed by a brief training on the Basics of Nonprofit Advocacy. Jeannie will answer such questions as:
• Is lobbying legal for nonprofits?
• What does the IRS care about when it comes to nonprofits and advocacy?
• Are there state regulations regarding nonprofits and advocacy?
