Archaeology and archaeological resources are in the spotlight as never before. Digital, print, and traditional media raise tremendous awareness for discoveries and cultural data. This enhanced visibility means that researchers and historic preservation professionals need better tools to shape policy on issues such as preservation, repatriation, funding, access, and equity. How can archaeologists become skilled advocates for important research and resources? This workshop will introduce the methods and best practices of cultivating outreach to federal, state, and local policymakers. Learn how to start the conversation, create impact, and follow up with lawmakers for positive change.
- Explain best practices and approaches to advocacy with federal, state, and local policymakers
- Describe the structure of a typical advocacy meeting and to outline a conversational script appropriate for federal, state, and local policymakers
- Highlight the importance of building robust quantitative and qualitative approaches through a case for support and through storytelling
- Describe the process of building a relationship with policymakers through follow-up and continued partnership
