assessment.
Preparation
The executive leaders at Vila Health accepted your change proposal and would like to move it forward.
However, lasting change in a volatile regulatory and policy environment will require adequate funding
and support from the applicable governing body or regulatory agency. Consequently, you have been
asked to present the proposed change to policymakers to seek their support and funding for the change
as an established policy for the organization and community.
To prepare for this assessment, you are encouraged to begin thinking about funding and securing policy
support for lasting change. In addition, you may wish to:
•
Review the assessment requirements and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work
you will be asked to complete.
•
Review the Guiding Questions: Advocating for Lasting Change document linked in the Resources
of this assessment, which includes questions to consider and additional guidance on how to
successfully complete the assessment.
•
Be sure that your audiovisual equipment works and that you know how to record and upload
your presentation.
