Welcome to SWANA’s Advocacy & Public Policy Group

This group will be used to provide updates to the Core Advocacy Group, to allow group members to communicate with each other, to save documents, and more.

The Core Advocacy Group is critical to SWANA’s public policy engagement. This group is comprised of Legislative Liaisons from each Chapter and Technical Division. Chapters without a Legislative Liaison are encouraged to have one, or at least to have someone designated to receive and share SWANA’s Advocacy Alerts.
