The U.S has fallen to the third most popular English Language Training (ELT) destination globally as other ELT countries gained market share. Those countries have national strategies to attract students. The global market for all international students, including ELT students, is more competitive than ever, which underscores the need for a coordinated U.S. approach to international education.

That's a wrap on our CSO Budget Advocacy Academy in Nairobi! 🎉 On day two, participants: ✔ Showcased knowledge gained from a media advocacy exercise. ✔ Crafted SMART communications objectives—including identifying target audiences, creating key messages and devising tactics, resources, timelines and monitoring frameworks. ✔ Formulated realistic communications plans and hooked media stories on human interest with the support of our Prevent Epidemics team. ✔ Learned to coalesce with like-minded organizations, mobilize communities and engage both senior and mid-level leaders for sustained impact.   We also held world café-style sessions focused on emphasizing the need for advocacy in budget accountability. (A key takeaway was the issue of advocacy as a component of support and not a tool for alienating decision-makers.)   Advocates are now leaving Nairobi with the foundations of real-world budget advocacy projects to support #EpidemicPreparedness and Response in their own countries for the next six months.

Here are five reasons why we need strong Australian industry associations. 1. They can spread a message, educate Australian consumers and grow audiences. 2. They can advocate for change with government, through cost effective communications campaigns. 3. They can create relationships and be a source of reliable information and education and training for members. 4. Through their advocacy, communication and media relations, they can prevent badly designed policy and achieve better outcomes. 5. They can bring people together. The strength of purpose provided by membership and engagement is very underrated. If you work for an association needing help with its advocacy and communication, I would love to help. #associations #advocacy #corporatecommunications #mediarelations #corporateaffairs #industryassociation #membership #engagement Associations Forum Australasian Society of Association Executives ********** You can follow Daniel McDougall and get his perspectives from 25 years in the media and communications industry
