Winning in Washington today requires an integrated team. It’s imperative that communicators and government relations experts work together and understand the nuance of each other’s specialties.

What can other advocates learn from this victory for underserved families and children?


Catriona Macdonald, executive director, Association for State and Tribal Home Visiting Initiatives and Adam Shapiro, President/CEO, ASPR will give us an insiders’ view of what it took to secure $400 million annually for five years for the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting program.
