SUDBURY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE – ADVOCACY COMMITTEE 12 NOVEMBER 2015, SUDBURY JAMES CUDDY & MIKE COMMITO
What is NPI? • “Think tank” • Independent – authors are free from interference from everyone, including us • Non-partisan – we do not take “sides” • Evidence based – we collect, measure and interpret data • IN the North – we deal with local, regional, provincial, national and international issues from a northern perspective • Not an advocacy group
Three ways YOUR issue gets on OUR to-do list 1. Top Ten Northern Issues: Northern Policy Institute is the ONLY Think Tank in Canada that sets its research agenda based on feedback we receive from our stakeholders, all 780,000 of them. If your issue is shared by your friends and neighbours, it will likely get onto our to-do list. 2. Single Window on Northern Issues: YOU do the work, commission the study, and you send it to us for re-publication or dissemination. Big parts of our job involve avoiding wasteful duplication of effort and getting the word out about what has already been done. 3. Willing to Partner – but no guarantees : NOT a consulting service, but will partner – in cash, or in kind – to expedite needed work. We just can’t promise you will like the answer.
