  17. Nonprofits can & must lobby, but lobbying is so specific. Much of what we do to effect change is education & advocacy, also legal for nps.
  18. Lobbying: asking a decision-maker to support or oppose a specific piece of legislation. #naad09
  19. Registration up (by 5) this year for Natl Arts Advocacy Day #naad09
