Effective advocacy strategies

6 October 2024 - Updated: 25 October 2024

Increasingly, architects are being asked to advocate for good design and public safety, defend the profession and argue for better outcomes for our cities and communities. View this useful CPD webinar featuring Lindy Johnson from Lindy Johnson Marketing and PR and Rachael Bernstone from Sounds Like Design on creating advocacy campaigns that work. Originally held 25 October 2024.

BOOK NOW

As an Association, we have recently advocated on behalf of our members on the following complex issues:

NSW Draft Building Bill
Victoria Compliance in Building Design
WA Medium Density Code

Meaningful advocacy is diplomatic, strategic, collaborative and forward-thinking – and as a profession, we don’t always get it right. To help us improve, we invited communications experts – Lindy Johnson and Rachael Bernstone – to share their top tips on the topic.

Whether you want to start a letter-writing campaign, respond to a policy submission or meet with a Minister, this webinar will help you craft your argument, make an impact and keep the decision-makers onside.
