Influencing Policy Day Auckland 2016

As part of our roles as advocates, Maureen and Diana spent the day at the Ministry of Health and Disability Network Influencing Policy day. We are learning how to be influencers for the Head and Neck Cancer Survivors' Support Network.

The highlights have been:

Figuring out what we want, and putting it into words. 

Identifying the effective decision makers.

Learning how laws and policies change.

Identifying what and who influence decision makers.

Developing a range of tactics.

Persuasive writing. 

And we had some fun being creative.
