I have started the paper – please add what I have done in addition to answering the questions below.
Effective advocacy is about effective voice. Who’s speaking up? Who’s listening? Often response is dependent on the advocacy leader. Using your course materials and independent research, discuss the role of an advocacy leader. Consider different types of advocacy leadership, including self-advocacy. Use the questions to guide your original post and responses to at least two classmates.
• What characteristics define an advocacy leader?
• In this module’s reading, Out From Under the Radar: Making Leadership Visible, by Deanna M. Ramey, who is an advocacy leader? Provide a rationale for your choice.
• Why are research and the data-informed evidence it provides important to the work of an advocacy leader? Cite an example.
