CAPO Webinar Series: Effecting Change: From Advocacy to Lobbying

Effecting Change: From Advocacy to Lobbying

DATE: Friday, November 1, 2024, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. ET

The webinar will focus on how to effect change for cancer care and policy in Canada.

Two important elements of change are advocacy and lobbying. While advocacy drives leaders, grassroots movements, public awareness and support, and efforts to lobby the governments, lobbying requires a professional approach to influence governments so that they can relocate resources, and prioritize or develop public policies. In this webinar, speakers will talk about their motivation to advocate, and the practical and theoretical aspects of both the advocacy and lobbying on cancer.
