Advocacy is often associated with visionary leaders, but real and lasting change depends on the followers who choose to act.
Join Dr. Ines Furume, MA, DSL for her engaging session, “Bridging the Gap: Communication as the Engine of Effective Followership in Advocacy.”
This thought-provoking presentation explores how communication empowers followers to become active participants in advocacy efforts, transforming shared values into meaningful action. Dr. Furume highlights the critical role followers play in sustaining movements, advancing causes, and building momentum through courage, commitment, and collective engagement.
As she reminds us:
"Followership is not passive participation. It is the active choice to advance a vision greater than oneself."
Whether you work in leadership, nonprofit advocacy, public service, communication, education, or organizational development, this session will provide valuable insights into the power of communication to strengthen followership and drive lasting impact.
