A full house listens to Matthew Anderson, CEO, Toronto Central LHIN at How Government Works, Speaker Series on November 12, 2008How Government Works 2009-10 Workshops
CRICH's mission is to improve health outcomes for marginalized populations through a program of policy-relevant research. However, we often have limited exposure to the nuts and bolts of government priority-setting, timelines and levels and levers of decision making. Through these informal talks with senior Ontario government officials, we will gain practical advice about government process and culture, with the ultimate goal of improving our skills in policy-focused knowledge transfer.
To RSVP or to suggest a topic or speaker for the series, contact Kelly Murphy at 416-864-6060 Ext. 3379 or MurphyKe@smh.ca.
