Register today for "Recovery Voices Count" teleconference
Join us on Wednesday, January 30 at 3:00 pm Eastern for the first in our four-part 2008 Recovery Advocacy teleconferences. These one-hour interactive teleconferences will give you expert information and a chance to ask questions of our experts.
Growing numbers of recovery community organizations and recovery advocates across the country are getting involved in nonpartisan civic engagement activities so that their voices can be heard in the local, state and national arenas. They are conducting voter registration and Get-Out-the-Vote activities, sponsoring candidate forums and getting candidates for political office on record about critical policies that will make recovery a reality for even more Americans. During this teleconference, you will learn from experts in the field about how to get involved in this exciting campaign.
Faces & Voices of Recovery's National Field Director Tom Coderre will give an overview of Recovery Voices Count and we will hear from recovery advocates and allies about how to:
- Register voters at your events
- Educate voters and candidates about public policies that support recovery
- Get-out-the-vote
Registration: To register, click here today. Please note, registration for this teleconference will close at 5:00 p.m. EST on January 28, 2007.
When you register, you will receive the telephone number for the teleconference. We will email you a link to download the PowerPoint presentation closer to January 30th. You will also be able to download the PowerPoint presentation and other background materials from our website.
