(Breaking News) Sam McLean will address the AuSAE Conference & Exhibition (ACE) in an exciting keynote titled "Mobilising members through grassroots campaigns in the NFP landscape." Join us at ACE, to hear Sam share his and GetUp's impressive work in the advocacy field throughout Australia.

Sam McLean is National Director of GetUp, an independent movement of more than 800,000 people working to build a progressive Australia and bring participation back into our democracy. Sam started as a volunteer eight years ago and by 22 had risen to become GetUp's Communications and Campaigns Director. At 24, he succeeded Simon Sheikh as National Director. From his early days as a grassroots campaigner and field manager, including time as international climate change campaigner at Avaaz.org, he has advocated for progressive activism at the local level. He helped to establish CommunityRun, a tool that empowers GetUp members to start and eventually run their own campaigns. Sam is also a Director of Australian Progress and of ControlShift Labs, which provide platforms for local activists to start and run campaigns across the world. Follow Sam on Twitter: @samuelmclean.
