Drowning in a wave of new rules and regulations? Feel like you’re constantly reacting rather than planning? Great news—it’s possible to influence trade policy and regulations, and WIT-NC is here to show you how to do it effectively, no matter how big or small your company is. Join us in person or via Zoom, and learn:

• What trade advocacy is and how it differs from lobbying;
• How you can make your views known to policymakers, whether directly or by working through counsel or industry organizations;
• How to collaborate effectively with your company’s government affairs team; and
• Why it’s a good idea to advocate, even (or maybe especially) if you’re a smaller company.

Speaker:
