State & Regional Webinars

How to Advocate as a State and Regional Association

April 9, 2025

April 9, 2025 | 2:00-3:00 pm ET

Join AACRAO’s Government Relations team from 2pm - 3pm ET on April 9, 2025, for a webinar focusing on higher education policy issues and how State and Regional associations can become engaged in these issues. The webinar will focus on the following topics:

  • Overview of current issues impacting higher education
  • How S&R AACRAO associations, as 501(c)(3) nonprofits, can engage in advocacy work while still complying with the IRS tax code.
  • Identifying and empowering individuals at S&R associations to become government relations points of contact.

AACRAO’s Government Relations team hopes that attendees will finish the session with a clear understanding of how they can get involved in advocacy work at both the federal and state levels.
