Turning Policy Into Progress: How Associations Make Their Voices Heard

In this episode, host Jarrod A. Clabaugh, CAE, is joined by Mary Kate Cunningham, CAE, Chief Public and Governance Officer at ASAE, and Ali Bedford, vice president at Integer, for a conversation on the power of advocacy in advancing associations and nonprofits. Together, they unpack recent wins in tax reform and workforce legislation and share how effective storytelling, grassroots engagement, and strong relationships with policymakers can drive meaningful change. The discussion also highlights how smaller organizations can take practical, proactive steps to make their voices heard and influence policy at every level.
