What could all Districts work on together?

What are individual District needs?

Creating a “Roadmap” for Moving Forward:

· What outcomes are we looking for?

• Priority actions that are needed?
• Who will take the lead? What “networks” might we join and/or create that would facilitate the work?
• What technical assistance/support is needed to sustain and grow the work? Will additional financial resources be required? What are the options for securing resources? Who do we need to bring together?
