About This Workshop
This program will provide psychologists with information about the how a bill becomes a law in Iowa and how the IPA legislative agenda is developed and implemented. Participants will learn how to be better advocates for psychology through increasing their awareness of 1) key points in the legislative session timeline, 2) how to effectively communicate with legislators, and 3) strategies and tactics necessary to accomplish goals in the short and long term. This presentation will be taught by an experienced psychologist advocate and IPA’s longtime lobbyist. Participants will have opportunities to ask questions and contribute to the development of the 2023 legislative agenda.
Learning Objectives

- Build skills and confidence to advocate and promote the science and practice of psychology
- Understand how Iowa’s legislative session is designed
