WATCH
Influencing Public Policy
In Project: Brainiacs

Jennifer Melo joins Gavin Attwood, executive director of the Brain Injury Association of Colorado in this E-Z review for citizenry of how the Colorado State Legislature works, a few jabs and jokes mixed with a few don'ts for the manners file.

Melo, BIAC's lobbyist at the capitol, acknowledges the insanity of the process and easy ways to put in your two cents to YOUR legislator, whoever that is. Ooops, don't know? Here's how to find out the easy way.

Watch out for her pop quiz. Do you remember Gavin's FOUR POINTS? 1. Prevention, 2. ??

An incognito Springs State Legislator pops out of the crowd to explain his personal connection to the TBI community, and his basic advice from four sessions at the Capitol.

This Session from the 28th Annual Conference of the Brain Injury Association of Colorado is one you could watch several times and soak up all the points.

For other sessions from the October 2010 Conference at the beautiful Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs, Colorado, check the Brainiacs archives at www.denveropenmedia.org/project/6254/shows for Family Leadership Training Institute. More soon.
