2. INTRODUCTION
The Policy Development Framework exists to support the advo-
cacy and policy development goals of the organization. It is a stra-
tegic guide in setting goals and processes towards the mission and
vision of the organization.
It can be difficult for large, diverse groups to converge on a consen-
sus, given no two people share the same experience. The frame-
work exists as a solution to this problem, in a manner consistent
with the best practices of the government relations industry.
The policy and strategy conference is just the begining of the
framework. Delegates, representing their home associations, will
DEFINE, PRIORITIZE and STRATEGIZE the year’s advocacy.
These three crucial phases help us tie our story into a broader,
strategic narrative, to better the lives of students in Canada.
