As a policy and advocacy organization we work to ensure there are the proper policies, programs, and funding to implement the Strategic Plans. We also refer to them in our work with the Congress, media, and the public to help educate them on the strategic plans and national goals included in each of the plans. We use them to measure our progress in meeting the goals. We not only use them to advocate before the Congress but also within government agencies and leadership to hold them accountable to ensure the goals are reached and that proper policies and programs are in place with sufficient funding.
