REGISTER FOR ADVOCACY 101 TODAY!

COVID-19. Unemployment. George Floyd. Monuments. 2020 Election. Sounds like it’s time for a little Advocacy 101 presented by Bon Secours.

It’s no secret a lot of people are feeling helpless right now in the face of rapidly moving headlines. You can take action and we want to help. One person can make a difference, and as our community and our state moves toward the November election and 2021, There is an art to advocacy. In this 8-hour class (over two days), we’ve assembled some of the best minds in the Southeast to teach you what you need to make a difference at the local, state, or federal level.

Last year’s class was amazing, and the best part for this year is that we’ll be doing a virtual class this year! From Seneca to Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head to Indianland, we have you covered. We’re set for Friday, August 28th and Friday, September 4th from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
