Side note: Just by being on this webinar, you are at an advantage; you now know the names of some people to call when you have issues in your state/community.

Community advocacy champions, Friends, Foundations, other individuals and companies are or should be part of the ecosystem.

You are so right, Deborah!

So true, Deborah!

@Deborah Doyle: agree 100%

The Ecosystem Team is hoping to do a webinar with United for Libraries, Deborah

👍🏻

The Toolkit includes an Agenda building tool to offer tips that support compiling the needs of all the participating voices. https://www.ala.org/advocacy/sites/ala.org.advocacy/files/content/Ecosystem%20Agenda%20Building%20-%20Information%20Gathering%20-%20Template.pdf

Deborah, great point about foundations, friends groups, etc.

The toolkit also includes a template calendar to support your group planning out achievement of your goals. https://www.ala.org/advocacy/sites/ala.org.advocacy/files/content/stateandlocal/Advocacy%20Checklist.pdf

All of our tools are included here in the Implementation Guide: https://www.ala.org/advocacy/sites/ala.org.advocacy/files/content/stateandlocal/Ecosystem/Ecosystem%20Implementation%20Guide.pdf

And if you think of a tool you wish we had included, please let us know!
