Guided by SDV Network coaches, a core team of four volunteers developed their plan for how best to help the agency address their need. They decided to work on a project to restructure the components and processes for ADRC health

Scheduled and hosted five ‘beta’ programs to test and refine their new tools and processes.
What they said
“We accomplished what we set out to do. We appreciated the SDV
Team structure, guidance and focus on tangible outcomes. The agency
now has the tools and templates needed for coordination of health
promotion programs. This responsibility has been taken off my plate by
volunteers and I can focus on other strategic responsibilities.”– Peggy Schmidt, Health Promotion Specialist , ADRC
