The Impact of Public Policy in a Community
The benefits of public policy in communities often result from the collaborative work of municipal governments, nonprofit organizations, and local businesses. Because policies in one area often overlap with other areas, leaders in this space require special skills in both identifying and making the tradeoffs needed to create successful solutions. These same leaders must be able to work with many, diverse and often conflicting constituencies. Effective leaders collaborate with this diversity to build coalitions and solutions that leverage the best in every community.
