 Description:

To be successful in achieving your mission and fulfilling your grant obligations, you must have the explicit support of your community. Community engagement is not a revolutionary idea, but it can revolutionize how your Head Start and Early Head Start programs prepare to succeed in the future. Does your current needs assessment tell a compelling story? Does it inspire engagement from your partners, board, staff, and clients? Does it celebrate your successes through your impactful outcomes? Join this session to discover how to use your required community needs report to dynamically change the way your organization is perceived by funders, partners, and the community as a whole. 

 Learning Objectives: 

1. Change the way you view and conduct community needs assessments. 

2. Learn how to balance engagement and compliance outcomes in gathering insights and data. 

3. Review an “outside-in” approach for conducting your next assessment. 

Lunch will be provided.
