Aspen Institute: Nonprofits in an Age of Policy Change – Training Program

The Aspen Institute is hosting Nonprofits in an Age of Policy Change: Training Program on Monday, January 13^th through Friday, January 17^th.

Nonprofits in an Age of Policy Change is a part-time, unpaid virtual program designed to support subject matter experts and nonprofit advocates in developing and updating their policy advocacy strategy following the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 2024 decision overturning Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council.That court decision empowered courts to overturn the judgment of agency experts and decide for themselves the scope of agencies’ power to make and enforce regulations. As a result, outside advocates of all stripes need training to play a critical role going forward as experts in court proceedings involving agency decision making. This short course will introduce less-experienced policy advocates to a framework for thoughtfully creating an advocacy plan in light of changes to the federal policy ecosystem. The course will also help advocates develop the skills they need to more effectively participate in the policy process. Strong applicants will have professional experience working in the nonprofit space and will be involved or potentially involved in helping their nonprofit shape their policy advocacy strategy in this new environment. Past policy experience is not required; this course likely will be too advanced for professional policy practitioners. The application deadline to attend this course will close Sunday, December 8^th.
