National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) Stakeholder Groups are comprised of representatives of organizations and/or individuals who share mutual interests and goals with NDEP and have capacity to identify and address the needs of high-risk and other priority populations. They are regularly informed about NDEP’s activities and provide input and feedback to NDEP. Activities include:
- Working with NDEP, with each other, and with other Stakeholder Groups to ensure that the needs and priorities of high-risk populations and/or major stakeholder groups are addressed in NDEP’s plans and initiatives.
- Sharing information and providing input on an ongoing basis to the Operations Committee and relevant task groups to ensure that NDEP messages, materials, and initiatives are audience-appropriate and culturally-sensitive.
- Reviewing proposed strategies, messages, materials, and tools in development by NDEP staff and Task Groups.
- Reviewing messages and materials in development by staff and task groups.
- Recommending nominees for participation on Task Groups and the Operations Committee.
- Serving on relevant Task Groups, the Operations Committee, and the Strategic Directions Group.
- Assisting NDEP in identifying and engaging new partners to ensure a wide diversity of traditional and non-traditional partners.
- Collaborating with NDEP to ensure greater reach to high-risk and other priority populations.
Communication and engagement processes may vary, depending on the group. The Stakeholders group has communicated via: one-on-one meetings with NDEP leadership and the organization; NDEP attendance via exhibits and presentations at stakeholder organization meetings; individual Stakeholder Group meetings at the NDEP Partnership Network Meeting; conference calls and video conferences; ongoing telephone, email, electronic and social media communications; other networking opportunities; cross-stakeholder calls to address common issues; and presentations (webinars) to all stakeholder groups on issues of interest.
