Earlier this week, we began part one of a discussion on The Essential Role of Advocacy<\/strong><\/a> and why it’s not a sideline project, but in fact, core to our purpose for families. In part two of this important conversation, our host, Caley George, is once again joined by Encompass Executive Director Nela Cumming, along with Akin President and Chief Executive Officer Dave Newell, and Birth to Three Executive Director Maryanne Barnes. These powerhouse leaders from Washington nonprofits share their challenges, the necessity of collaboration, and the power of voice and relationships to drive systemic change.<\/p>\n
