Write a Reflection
For this reflection, view your own video and critique your communication with your stakeholders.
Reflect upon your verbal and nonverbal communication skills:
- What differences do you see from the Week 3 video? What improved?
- What effect will these differences or possible improvements have on the way your stakeholders perceive you and the issue you cover?
Additionally, pertaining to your lobbying plan issue, what new follow-up questions or comments do you think your audience would have following your elevator pitch? How would you respond? To strengthen your responses, refer to resources and reputable online sources, when possible, that you have come across either through your weekly readings in the course or in your work on the annotated bibliography in Week 2. Cite your sources and list references in APA format.

Introduction: Ongoing Compliance Issues and Practices
In order for a mental health agency or organization to remain viable, active ongoing efforts must be in place to evaluate and improve the regulatory and grant compliance efforts. Serious financial and even criminal consequences may result from mismanagement of grants or failure to comply with regulations.
In addition to scholarly articles, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Grant Compliance web page and the HCCA electronic document Evaluating and Improving a Compliance Program will provide support for understanding these issues.
