This course will teach you the ins and outs of negotiation and law- and policy-making, and how they are both used on the legislative level. We will cover a variety of issues and topics vital for success of legislators, board members, council members and their staff, and you will hear directly from policymakers, department staffers and advocacy groups and lobbyists that have had an impact on policy. The content will provide a foundation on the key parties at the table, how politics and bipartisanship is important and what are the best ways to foster and maintain relationships. You will learn more about the complex politics of law-making and policy. Regardless of experience or training, you will have the opportunity to learn about policy issues and how they can be navigated in a bipartisan way, and how you can navigate the system by working productively with those with whom you disagree while not compromising your values in politics and policy.
