Testimonials

“I previously had no policy-related experience, but through PPI I gained the knowledge, experience, and relationships necessary to effectively advocate for children affected by epilepsy and other disabilities.  Today I am a leader within a state-wide public policy organization, Epilepsy California, representing nearly 400,000 Californians with epilepsy.  On a national level, I am involved with the public policy efforts of the Epilepsy Foundation of America.”

– Julie DesJardins, PPI Graduate
