Civic Engagement & Public Policy | NC #19
Episode 20
Monday, 28 October, 2024

In this episode of Natural Collisions, we explore the critical intersection of civic engagement and public policy for nonprofits. What are the most pressing civic issues nonprofits could be focusing on today? How can nonprofits effectively engage to advocate for the communities they serve while remaining compliant with regulations? The “colliders” for this conversation discuss the challenges and opportunities nonprofit organizations face during election seasons while offering strategies for building coalitions that amplify the voices of underrepresented communities.GUESTS:Joan Gustafson, External Affairs Officer, Michigan Nonprofit AssociationRegina Bell, Chief Policy Officer, Council of Michigan FoundationsKamilia K.
