Blog Topic #7

How does your CP interface with local governmental units? Be specific. Are there any leaders in particular who have had an important impact on the success or development of your CP?

In local governments there are many things that all nonprofits deal with. In the book it talked about how nonprofits have become more integrated into the government. EHP would be looked at as a policy implementer program because it delivers emergency services to its community. EHP also receives a majority of their funding through charitable contributions and some federal grants. Although that has its limits within itself because it may cause strains on the program from having a community with great needs but not the resources. 


Today what mark the difference in local governments are the interactions that local governments have with its constituents. Elections are now held to have people in office. At-large elections are when a city voter can vote in as many candidates as there are seats to fill. In a district election a city voter can only vote in the council race for their district. The leaders that are elected affect EHP as well as other programs because the city counsel can provide positive attention to a program and support their services. They could also help with networking.
