 For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program has prepared you to meet the competency (for a total of at least nine paragraphs). Then, propose how you plan to engage in social change in your community as a nurse practitioner. Finally, describe 1–2 legislative and/or advocacy activities in which your state nurse practitioner organization(s) are involved. Be specific and provide examples. 

The nine areas of competency are:

• Quality
• Practice Inquiry
• Technology and Information Literacy
• Policy
• Health Delivery System
