Great campaigns top the latest Not-for-profit Agenda

As not-for-profits and charities prepare their case for a better deal ahead of the federal election, the Institute of Community Directors Australia (ICDA) is giving you the chance to hear from the sector’s top campaigners about what it takes to win.

ICDA has assembled a panel of experts for the latest Not-for-profit Agenda, our free one-hour quarterly news webinar, airing at 12.30pm (AEDT) on Thursday, October 31.

This episode’s special guest is the shadow Charities Minister, Senator Dean Smith, who will address some of the sector’s big issues, followed by an audience Q&A.

The fast-paced webinar will also feature video interviews with:

• Thomas Mayo, signatory to the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the author of a new book about the Voice campaign
• Martin Thomas, CEO of the Alliance for Gambling Reform, about his group’s powerful campaign for a gambling advertising ban
• Angus Crowther, co-founder of government engagement experts Tanck, on how NFPs can prepare for the 2025 federal elections
• Brianna Kerr, founder of the fast-emerging Five Bucks philanthropic movement
• Brett de Hoedt, straight-talking media and marketing expert, who knows how the public and not-for-profits really think
• Saffron Zomer, executive director of the Australian Democracy Network, on democracy building, defending advocacy rights, and protecting the right to protest
• Lisa Allan, an architect of the Pay What It Takes campaign, which is fighting for fairer funding for not-for-profits.

Expect an audience of ICDA members, peak body representatives, advocacy organisations, foundations, associations, public servants, media and political operators, regulators, health groups, community radio volunteers, land managers, animal advocates, fundraisers, international aid organisations, theatre troupes, housing, homelessness and disability groups, justice support agencies, and councils of social services from multiple states.

The Not-for-profit Agenda is hosted by senior ICDA media team members: Community Directors Intelligence editor Matthew Schulz and Community Advocate editor Greg Thom.

This free webcast is part of ICDA’s mission to educate, inform and inspire leaders, directors and staff within the community sector.
