Roadmap: Organizational Endorsement
Yes! We endorse the Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity's Roadmap.
Please list my organization as a member of the Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity. By becoming an IAPO member and endorsing the Action Roadmap, my organization will be listed as endorsing all eight objectives contained in the the State Obesity Action Roadmap.
I understand that IAPO leadership will apply the policy selection criteria below to select and conduct policy advocacy and policy campaign work on issues identified at the Obesity Action Summit or other opportunities, and I will be specifically asked for my organization's endorsement before our name will be used in support of individual policy initiatives and corresponding advocacy (See 1-Year Policy Agenda and 3-Year Roadmap Goals).
Policy Selection Criteria
-
Policies and environmental change strategies should be bold and meet the scale of the problem. Some Action Roadmap strategies may have longer-term timelines to allow for building necessary political will.
-
Policies, systems or environmental change initiatives must be supported with evidence based on (1) emerging best practices; (2) emerging national consensus; and (3) local consensus around particular policy strategies.
-
Policies pursued need to be consistent with the policy development, organizing and advocacy capacity that exists or can be built within IAPO and its supporting organizations.
-
Policies have the potential to build buy-in and acceptance from community and leadership.
-
Special attention will be given to recommendations that build on existing initiatives and/or infrastructure within the state.
