Chapter Conference Content

Looking for presentations to use at your chapter event? Consider these easy ideas.

Advocacy 101

This 10-minute presentation takes an interactive approach to demonstrating how public-policy advocacy works, and briefly explores both CUPA-HR’s advocacy efforts and ways HR professionals can support advocacy efforts. The facilitator guide contains a script for the PowerPoint slides and directions for conducting a fun activity to demonstrate the anatomy of an advocacy campaign.

Need a longer presentation?

Advocacy 101 is perfect for presenting in conjunction with a speaker or webinar presentation on a hot-button public policy issue such as FLSA, Title IX or DACA.

  • Ask a local expert. Consider asking a local expert, such as an on-campus public affairs officer, employment lawyer or political science professor, familiar with workforce legislation to share insights or lead a discussion on the topic or issue identified in your activity.
  • Watch a webinar and discuss. Show the latest recorded CUPA-HR Quarterly Washington Update webinar and have discussions on the issues presented (see the “Facilitator Guide: Compliance Issues Facing HR and Institutions Webinar” below).

The CUPA-HR government relations team is available to discuss CUPA-HR’s policy positions with you or your local expert regarding the topic or issue identified in your activity. Contact CUPA-HR to schedule the call.
