Advocacy 101 - HBA of Greenville Members

Description

Join the Home Builders Association of Greenville for a fast-paced, practical workshop designed to demystify local advocacy and equip you to influence the decisions that shape housing in the Upstate. In just one morning, you’ll learn how county councils, planning commissions, and staff actually make policy—and how builders, remodelers, trades, and suppliers can show up effectively, speak with credibility, and drive results. What you’ll learn: - The local land-use playbook: who does what, when, and why it matters - How to read an ordinance, spot red flags, and frame constructive alternatives - Proven tactics for public comment, one-on-one meetings, and coalition building - Turning your job site stories into persuasive talking points and data - Advocacy ethics, etiquette, and staying on message
