One of the nation’s leading experts on citizen lobbying campaigns, Pat has made it her mission to teach people – in a funny and engaging way – how to make change through the legislative process. Her 10-step lobbying model – which she created while leading a nonprofit organization – has been used by novice citizen activists throughout the country to pass a slew of new laws, including many in California. A long-time nonprofit leader and self-described “recovering academic”, she is also author of The Lobbying Strategy Handbook, second edition (Oxford) and Cases in Nonprofit Management (SAGE). In addition to the book talk, audience members will have opportunities to ask Pat questions about anything related to the topic from current political quagmires to supreme court decisions to best practices for new and experienced advocates. There will also be resources available to connect audience members with local advocacy efforts.
