The Network Model : Influencing Public Policy for Social Change

Title
The Network Model : Influencing Public Policy for Social Change
Abstract
The case studies being presented in today demonstrate that the development principles are at work every day and are now being pressed into new areas of action. The values underpinning the network model include promoting the identity of our communities, promoting social inclusion and advocating for equity in the broader society in its treatment of communities. These values can support network strategies to enter the “next level” of participation in societal initiatives setting broad policy goals. The reward for such effort can be societal recognition that the programs that define Quebec’s commitment to social progress also include our communities.
