Public Policy: The Backbone of POMA

Episode Introduction: POMA's Public Policy Committee (PPC) began as a Task Force a few years ago to review POMA's previous public policies from prior years and make recommendations to bring them current.  After completing its work, the task force was changed to full committee status because there was a recognized need for more public policy positions from POMA on emerging issues.  Tune in to learn more about POMA's Public Policy process.   Episode Summary: In today's episode of POMA DOes… Gene Battistella, DO, champion of POMA's Influence Pillar, leads a discussion with Joan Grzybowski, DO, chair of the Public Policy Committee, and the advocacy team who collectively work to develop POMA's public policies.    Key Takeaways: Public policy is generally defined as a group of fundamental ideas for the development of laws and concepts to guide an organization. The Public Policy Committee (PPC) has brought over two decades of policies up to current standards, some of which were sunset and many others that were amended and reaffirmed.
