Special Interest Group: Advocacy

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP - ADVOCACY

WEDNESDAY 20TH AUGUST 2025 AT 1.00 PM  AEST  I Online via Zoom

The focus of this first session will be Shared Strategies to approach Government Decision Makers.

Approaching government decision makers can be a daunting process for many Associations. Having a clear strategy about who to contact, how to pitch your argument and what follow-up is needed will increase your chances of getting the outcome you want.

Participants in the Special Interest Group will discuss success strategies that work including: creating a compelling case for change, building coalitions, working with the bureaucracy and instilling a sense of urgency amongst decision-makers.

This new group will be led by AES Executive Consultant, Peter Daly who brings a wealth of experience and practical knowledge
in advocacy and government engagement.

We will cover such questions as:

• Who really makes the decisions in government
• How to get a meeting with the right person
• Understanding Government Policy
