For over 20 years, the League of American Bicyclists has brought people who bike together in Washington, DC, for the National Bike Summit.
In recent years, we’ve also had a side meeting that complements the Summit. Two years ago, we debuted our League Cycling Advocate training. Last year, we hosted the Active Transportation Leadership Institute. And, this year, we’re having a whole day focused on advocacy organizations.
What Is Advocacy Organization Day?
Advocacy Organization Day is a one-day event for professionals in active transportation advocacy organizations. It will be a mix of specific skill- and topic-focused sessions with participant-led “unconference” discussions, with plenty of space for conversation and networking. You can see the full agenda here.
Advocacy Organization Day is a day built for participation. Breakout sessions will be discussion-oriented and slide-free, with unconference sessions that let participants dig into the ideas they’re most excited about and choose the conversations they want to have. It’s also a day where we’ll host conversations important for the bicycle movement about e-bikes, e-motos, and how we can work together to welcome new e-device users into the movement for safe streets while responding to concerns caused by these new devices and users. And we’ll also have sessions focused on organizational issues, like branding and fundraising, that are essential to thriving organizations and the strength of the bicycle movement.
Join us for Advocacy Organization Day to share your success stories, engage with peers in other organizations, grow as professional advocates, and help shape the League’s work in support of safer streets and better biking.
