Each of Genetic Alliance’s How-To Guides provides advocacy leaders with practical guidelines about a specific advocacy topic. The guides address topics suggested by members—through the CommunityForum Discussion List, Genetic Alliance annual conference, individual conversations, and other forums—about concepts and skills they would like to learn more about, including:

• Creating Effective Brochures
• Attending School with a Genetic Condition: A Guide for Parents
• Best Practices for Joining and Participating on Advisory Committees

The guides are not specific to any genetic condition and can be tailored by any member organization to fit the needs of its community.
