Eli Briggs, Founder and Principal of Briggs Strategic Advocacy, provided the second of a two-part webinar series to help public health professionals learn how to communicate effectively to advance policy and advocacy goals. Participants were strongly encouraged to enroll in both sessions, as there was a brief take-home activity in between sessions to strengthen your advocacy skills related to securing public health funding. Participants will see example elevator pitches that can be used in funding advocacy efforts.
