Overview
The foundation for a strong, effective, and actionable strategic plan is built on collaborative partnerships with engaged stakeholders. In order to communicate the strategic direction of the plan, as director of the local public health department, you will lead a town hall presentation in order to summarize the priorities, approaches, and outcomes for the audience of collaborative partners—including academicians, health professionals, state health department staff, representatives from affected communities, and representatives from nongovernmental organizations.
Time will not permit you to provide an overview of the entire strategic plan here. Instead, begin with a brief overview of the background and then demonstrate how effective design, implementation, and evaluation strategies will be applied to a leading public health problem in the community. Whereas you concisely presented this information in your assignments in Week 4; in this assignment, you will have an opportunity to expand upon your previous work and provide more comprehensive discussion. To do this, refer back to the same public health need identified in the Logic Model Development Micro-view assignment in Week 4.
End your presentation with a call to action to galvanize support and participation to implement the plan.
