Agenda
10 a.m. Public Affairs Communications in Polarizing Times
Communications plays an essential role in public affairs and advocacy campaigns. Whether you’re communicating with elected officials or their staff, educating volunteers or providing critical information to employees about pending legislation, what you say and how you say it can impact the outcome. But how can organizations craft effective messages for a polarized population? This panel, aided by insights from our yearly Public Affairs Pulse survey, will discuss what is resonating with the public and what they’re ignoring.
Our panel will share the latest strategies your organization needs to:
- Connect a communications strategy to public affairs goals
- Communicate in real-time with an angry, partisan or frustrated audience
- Identify when to engage on a social or political issue and when to stay quiet
11 a.m. Networking Break
11:15 a.m. Case Study: Communications and Rapidly Changing Legislation in the 115th Congress
As Congress continues to advance legislation through more informal procedures, organizations are having difficulty engaging in the debate and informing and encouraging their stakeholders to take action. How do you stay in the conversation and impact policy proposals? How do you keep members involved and focused on key goals in a 24-hour, always online media environment?
Through case studies, we’ll explore how an organization can:
- Adjust messaging and tactics to rapidly changing legislation
- Improve cross-channel online communications structures and approval processes
- Engage in policy-focused thought leadership
