Review the approaches that you have taken as director of the local public health department to facilitate stakeholder (community) involvement, beginning in Week 1. Discuss how you have involved stakeholders in the planning, development, implementation, and/or evaluation plan. In what ways did your approaches include or not include enough attention to group processes? At what key points in the planning and evaluation cycle did you make (or should have made) recommendations to improve stakeholder involvement overall?
Remember to cite any sources and refer to the FEM guidelines as you prepare your post.
Response Guidelines
Read and respond to your peers’ posts according to FEM guidelines. Consider the approaches to stakeholder involvement described by your colleague. Locate at least one scholarly or professional article that could help your colleague to better implement at least one approach they have described. Identify the article and summarize the article’s recommended strategies for stakeholder involvement your colleague should consider. Are there any additional significant approaches that your colleague has not considered?
