Policy Institute

The 2010 DIY Policy Institute2010 DIY Policy Institute

The 2010 DIY Policy Institute was geared towards anyone interested in making healthy changes in the places they live, work, and play.  We provided participants with tools they can use to implement changes or begin the implementation process.  We targeted worksites, healthcare, schools, community based institutions (day cares, faith-based organizations, colleges/universities, etc.), and the community at large (mayors, councilmen, concerned citizens, etc.).  This was a free one-day conference.  Travel scholarships were available.
