Emerging Leaders Network – Advocacy Day

The Maine Credit Union League’s Emerging Leaders Network is inviting credit union professionals from across the state to participate in an Advocacy Day on Tuesday, October 20 from 11:00 am – 3:00 pm.

Hosted at the State Capitol in Augusta, this event will give participants the opportunity to learn firsthand how public policy is developed and how advocacy plays a critical role in shaping issues important to Maine’s credit unions and the members they serve.

Throughout the day, attendees will tour the Maine State House; hear directly from lawmakers and other government officials; and participate in engaging discussions about leadership, public service, and effective advocacy. Emerging Leaders will conclude the day with a visit to Cushnoc Brewing Company.

It’ll be a great opportunity to better understand the legislative process and develop the skills needed to become a strong advocate for your credit union and community.

During this event, participants will:

• Tour the Maine State House
• Learn how the legislative process works in Augusta
• Participate in a discussion with lawmakers and public policy leaders
• Gain insight into the issues impacting Maine credit unions
• Take part in an interactive advocacy and public policy exercise

Whether you are interested in government affairs, leadership development, or simply expanding your professional network, you will leave with a better understanding of how advocacy influences our movement and how you can make an impact.
