What does outreach and advocacy mean to you? Join us as we help you develop an outreach and advocacy strategy centered on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) principles. Outreach and advocacy in archives is key to fostering awareness of the profession, our collections, and initiatives. In this webinar, you will learn how to center DEI principles in your outreach and advocacy initiatives for hiring, collection development, programming, and sustained institutional support. Our Outreach & Advocacy Toolkit is intended to help institutions transform collecting repositories into living departments that engage with the community in ways that are inclusive, equitable and impactful. Participants will walk away with an outline strategy that will help them develop practices that extend beyond diversifying collections.
Upon completion of this course, you will:

• Identify your DEI goals and develop a strategy to achieve them.
• Develop storytelling techniques to effectively engage stakeholders.
• Learn strategies to pitch initiatives and establish buy-in from stakeholders.
