Our health unit is also investigating the process of policy development.  I
assume you mean the development of healthy public policy and not the
internal administrative policies intended to keep the organization running.
Our focus right now is on providing an opportunity for program staff to
learn more about the process of policy development and then of course we
will develop work instructions on how this process should be handled.

I am interested in hearing about possible presenters/workshops for our
staff?  Any experiences?
