Real Clout Institutes for Volunteer Grassroots Members and Community Leaders

Regional skill-building sessions focus on the Real Clout rules and tools used by hundreds of community-based activists around the country to successfully influence their own regional policy makers.

Each session enables individual grassroots activists to practice and master basic public policy advocacy skills, identify common goals, develop mutually supportive strategies and design customized campaign messages that will work in their region's political landscape.

Judy Meredith will facilitate a panel of visiting faculty members drawn from a pool of experienced practitioners who work inside and outside the public policy arena. Selections from Real Clout, The Real Clout Workbook, and Lobbying on a Shoestring will be used to reinforce classroom learning, and contact information for regional legislators and key administration officials will be distributed during the session.

With the realization of one's own potential and self confidence in one's ability, one can build a better world. According to my own experience, self confidence is very important. That sort of confidence is not a blind one; it is an awareness of one's own potential. On that basis, human beings can transform themselves by increasing the good qualities and reducing the negative qualities.
