Darrell Rogers, from the Council of Holistic Health Educators, is an experienced Government Relations Director with a history of successfully implementing dynamic campaigns that promote and protect industries, organizations, and companies. He is skilled in government relations, policy creation, coalition management, and business development.
The Council of Holistic Health Educators protects and promotes holistic health professionals, just like us. They defeat legislation that restricts our community, and they lobby to pass laws protecting and growing the ability of our diverse profession to practice. They educate policymakers, build grassroots support, and train holistic health practitioners to become involved in the policy process and win.
During this conversation, Darrell discusses the council's role in protecting and promoting holistic health professionals, advocating against restrictive legislation, and educating policymakers. He also highlights the importance of consumer education and the need to update outdated regulations in the nutrition and health coaching industry. Darrell also emphasizes the value of health coaches in providing education and resources, job opportunities in various industries, and the importance of supporting the Holistic Council.
