Twenty-five individuals start school today as the seventh annual session of United Way’s Public Policy Institute (PPI) gets underway. United Way’s PPI is a  leadership program is designed to help non-profit leaders across BC learn how to shape and influence public policy. Topics being explored in this session range from looking at options for local food systems by the BC Food Systems Network in Nelson; to bridging the gap in knowledge and service to LGBTQ seniors by Vancouver’s West End Seniors Network; to developing a community driven, nation driven approach to bettering the outcome of Secwepemc children through the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council. 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. The faculty 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.
