Paying Attention to Coalition Basics

Key Elements of State Coalitions

Establish a regular meeting schedule; share meeting business via complete and timely distribution of meeting minutes.

Coalition Example - "The Florida Pioneer Network Steering Committee meets the 4th Friday of every other month. Minutes of each meeting are sent to Steering Committee members which include a summary of the discussion, actions to be taken, and responsible parties with due dates."
