As you are planning your new program, you need to identify key stakeholders to enlist support to validate your cause or professional abilities to launch this program.

In this discussion, identify multiple stakeholder groups. State how their support validates your program and describe your strategy for gaining their support. Discuss which local government agency or department would be the primary stakeholder for hosting the new program that you are designing for this week's assignment. Support your choice with rationale and literature from the field.
