Managing your institution’s research portfolio is already challenging—but IOs are also often expected to advocate for their institution and research at local, state, and national levels. What do you say? Where do you start? Whom do you even talk to and are they the right person to help advance your institution’s research agenda?  This session, tailored to the unique challenges IOs face, features a panel discussion on effective communication strategies for engaging a wide range of stakeholders—from local boards of trustees to members of Congress. Engage in active dialogue with peers and come prepared for thoughtful discussion.
