Advocacy Breakfast Meeting

Confederation Rooms 5 & 6

Summary: Preparations for the
annual Education Advocacy Breakfast Meeting to be held during the APA
Toronto convention are already underway. Evan Knisely, Associate Vice
President for Van Scoyoc Associates - one of the top appropriations
consulting firms in Washington, D.C. - will be the keynote presenter.
Through his presentation, "Fighting for Graduate Psychology Education
Funding: Surviving the Annual Appropriations Battle," Mr. Knisely
will not only explain how the annual appropriations process really works
and how difficult it is for psychology to get a "win" - but why
it's the biggest game in town and how you can help us keep our place at
the table!
As always, the breakfast is free and open to members of
the Education Advocacy Grassroots Network, and all other interested
individuals. In order to ensure adequate room and catering arrangements,
please RSVP by Friday, August 1st, either by email to
Amanda Ring or phone (202-312-6483).
