A Grassroots Advocacy Leader is a seasoned advocate who has experience participating in advocacy meetings on behalf of APA. These individuals serve as leaders for APA’s grassroots advocacy efforts. 

• During Advocacy Summits, Grassroots Advocacy Leaders serve as mentors for new advocates, and will help get your state delegation organized for your advocacy meetings. This includes working with the group to identify who will say what during the meetings (e.g., who will introduce the group, who will speak about each of the 3 legislative requests, and who will conclude the meeting).

NOTE: If your state does not have a Grassroots Advocacy Leader participating in the Summit, please work with the other participants from your state to select someone from your group who is willing to take the lead on getting your delegation organized.
