Learn how to leave a lasting impression and effectively launch into the Q&A.
You are returning the audience to where they began, but now wiser. Talks, like novels or movies, are circles—or, better yet, helixes—that close back on themselves, with new insight or perspective.
Engage! Steps to Contact Congress Right Now (Registration Closed)
Wednesday, 26 March from 9-10 AM Pacific
Join SSA’s Government Relations Liaison Elizabeth Duffy for this informative session on steps you can take to advocate for seismology in the U.S. right now. Elizabeth will teach how to use your knowledge as power to effectively contact Congress and craft a compelling narrative of why seismology matters for public safety. She will also highlight strategies for engaging with officials who may not prioritize science-based policies by sharing personal stories to help shape policy. The session will begin with 45-minutes of coaching followed by a 15-minute Q&A.
