BHE 310 Case 3: Success Story

Thank you for choosing to share your story! This worksheet will help you gather and organize information.  As you read each question, imagine you are telling a friend about your program or strategy. What is the first thing you would tell them that answers the question?  

Consider this a summary of your policy, system, or environmental change strategy that you’ll reference later.  Keep your answers short, no more than a sentence if you can.

3. What kind of change are you trying to implement?      

4. Who participates? Or rather, who participated in the passing of the policy? Who are your coalition members?       

5. Who does the strategy benefit most?  Or, to put it another way, who is your target audience?
