Class is in session for the 2016 United Way Public Policy Session.

Twenty-five individuals start school tomorrow in the next session of United Way’s Public Policy Institute. This leadership program is designed to help non-profit leaders learn how to shape and influence public policy. This is the sixth year that United Way British Columbia has run this program. Topics being explored in this session range from literacy and mental health by the Read Right Society, to introducing education on renting into grade 12 curriculum put forward by TRAC Tenant Resource & Advisory Centre. Participants explore topics such as evidence, policy options, engagement, as well as implementation and evaluation in this premiere leadership training. Sessions run over six months and are lead by our impressive PPI faculty: Mike Harcourt, former premier of British Columbia, will be joined again by Brenda Eaton, Elizabeth Cull, Ida Goodreau and Liz Whynot. They bring a wealth of real-life public policy experience to the program, complemented by a diverse array of panelists and guest speakers. Special thanks to our Premier Sponsor Vancity and Venue Sponsor UBC Robson Square for making this year’s Public Policy Institute possible.
