To do this well\, advocates must first understand the structures and processes that shape public policy—how decisions are made at the local\, state and federal levels\, and who holds the authority to act. This civic grounding empowers organizations to navigate complex systems and identify the right moments for engagement. From there\, power mapping becomes an essential tool: by analyzing networks of influence\, understanding stakeholders’ motivations\, and pinpointing leverage points\, advocates can align their efforts with the priorities of elected officials and community leaders. This strategic approach transforms external relations into a powerful force for advancing mission-driven goals and creating lasting impact in the communities we serve. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nAttendees will learn to explain the structures and decision-making processes of local\, state\, and federal government systems to identify where and how public policy is shaped.\nAttendees will learn to apply power-mapping techniques to analyze networks of influence\, stakeholder motivations\, and leverage points relevant to an organization’s advocacy goals.\nAttendees will develop a strategic external relations plan that aligns institutional priorities with the interests of policymakers and community leaders to advance mission-driven change.\n\n  \nOn Aging Institute Faculty: \nHolly M. Davis is a nonprofit and public policy leader with extensive experience in advocacy\, strategic program development\, and philanthropic leadership. With a strong background in civic engagement and coalition-building\, she has guided organizations in crafting effective programs\, advancing policy initiatives\, and fostering leadership in diverse sectors.
