STEP 1: DATA GATHERING
The first step in the process was to gather input from key stakeholder groups about needed supports, programs, and services. This information was gathered through focus groups and online staff surveys.
Many stakeholders provided input as we gathered data to develop our Strategic Plan. Below listed are the input opportunities we provided for the needed "Keep Doing, Stop Doing, Start Doing" components of the planning process. The results of the data gathering are available at Data Review & Plan Development.
Meeting Schedule and Data Gathered
