About the Webinar:

In an ever-evolving political and regulatory landscape, state legislative advocacy is increasingly crucial for driving meaningful public policy and regulatory change for Texas Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT), LMFT Associates, or students interested in becoming an LMFT. Please join us for an engaging webinar conducted by long-time TAMFT lobbyist Tristan “Tris” Castañeda, firm Partner and co-owner of Longbow Partners, to receive an overview of the Texas Legislature and to explore the essential tools, tactics, and collaborative strategies for effectively influencing state public policy.

The webinar will feature professional advocacy insights from Mr. Castañeda in getting your voice heard, the mechanics and fundamentals of seeking to influence public policy, tips for effective engagement during a legislative session, and how practitioners and students alike can collaboratively contribute with TAMFT to achieve its Texas legislative program objectives while mitigating against adverse policy changes leading up to and during the upcoming s89th Regular Session.

Whether you are a seasoned advocate or new to legislative engagement, this webinar provides a robust overview of the essential elements of advocacy and offers some actionable knowledge to inspire and amplify your voice and how to work with others to affect change.
