Are you a change maker who works in the non-profit sector and wants to advance social change? Registration is now open for the 2019 United Way Public Policy Institute, a professional development program designed to help non-profit leaders and their organizations increase their understanding of the public policy process in BC and their capacity to influence it.
Enrollment is open to organizations involved in social or health related services from across the province. Applicants must be from the non-profit sector, have several years of experience in their field, and be actively involved in the area they would like to see policy change.
Inside the PPI classroom.
The program runs between January and June, 2019 in monthly two-day sessions. Topics explored include evidence, policy options, engagement as well as implementation & evaluation.
The calibre of the Public Policy Institute is beyond compare. Our very dedicated faculty are returning in 2019: Mike Harcourt, former premier of British Columbia; Brenda Eaton; Elizabeth Cull; Ida Goodreau; and Liz Whynot. They bring a wealth of real-life public policy experience to the program, complemented by an impressive and diverse array of panelists and guest speakers.
