Lobbying
Clinic
Our
NCJW Utah Section is privileged to benefit from the legislative
lobbying expertise of Pamela Silberman and Robyn Lipkowitz. In preparation
for effective support of lobbying efforts consistent with local
NCJW values and interests, Pam and Robyn conduct a clinic that highlights
and demystifies key aspects of the legislative process.
If
you’ve ever wanted to better understand how your legislature
works and how you can make an individual impact or support local
team lobbying initiatives, don’t miss this annual clinic.
