2010 Public Policy Institute: “Putting the Public in Public Health”

 

Attorney General and CDC to speak at Public Policy Institute. 

 

The theme of the 2010 Institute is utilizing public engagement to make informed policy choices.  Public engagement can be defined as the practice by which an agency or sponsor very actively involves members of the public-at-large and representatives of stakeholder organizations in group dialogue and deliberation sessions to better inform a pending policy decision.

 

Public policies are more legitimate, credible and effective if they meet the expectations and needs of the people for whom they are intended. Well-designed public engagement helps design and deliver effective public policy and services while strengthening trust in government. 

 

Date: March 9, 2010
Place:
Doubletree Hotel – Columbus/Worthington


Registration Fees: (Registration fee includes Institute materials, continental breakfast & lunch.)

OPHA Member – $80

Non-OPHA member – $110 (includes a six-month free OPHA membership)
