Section 2—Planning Advocacy with Strategic Thinking Tools Instructions: This section will involve a strategic-thinking tool called stakeholder mapping. Please review the following resource for a complete explanation on completing a stakeholder map: ● Plack, M. M., Goldman, E. F., Scott, A. R., & Brundage, S. B. (2019). Systems Thinking in the Healthcare Professions: A Guide for Educators and Clinicians (see pages 46–52 particularly) Since you will be completing stakeholder maps, you might ask, “Who are the stakeholders?” When completing each stakeholder map (per level of governance), consider the stakeholders relevant to legislative support in policy development. Remember, this is a broad analysis—and as such you may be referring to categorical positions (e.g., Chair of X committee) rather than specific persons or entities. Additionally, you will want to select a specific state and specific county within the United States (for the local level), as stakeholders may differ among states and varying locales.

Stakeholder Maps Instructions: Create a stakeholder map for each of the 3 levels of governance (see page 46 of Plank, et al. (2019)) and then insert the stakeholder maps below. Stakeholder Map—National Level Stakeholder Map—State Level
