Workplace Application:
Examine SHRM’s public policy advocacy strategy and the role you need to play in advancing the profession in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals. 

Have a voice! A crucial component of SHRM’s advocacy efforts is the SHRM Advocacy Team (A-Team), which works to advance the interests of the HR profession in the development of sound public policy. The A-Team is a network of committed volunteers in congressional districts across the U.S. that serves as the “go-to” resource for lawmakers and their staffs on workforce-related issues. Lusk provides an overview of the A-Team effort; takes you through the basic steps of becoming involved in the public policy process; offers best practices for contacting, meeting and building lasting relationships with elected officials and their staffs; and discusses effective ways of communicating your perspective on key workplace issues.
