What best practices do you have on keeping partners engaged in a mostly virtual environment? What tools or methods do you recommend for keeping folks engaged, sharing updates and resources, collecting feedback, etc.?

An issue we are experiencing is having the college be present and prepared. I think this was more than they bargained for and they panic opposed to getting things complete.

Would Deana be able to share an example of an alignment and consultation agenda that she has used?

@JoAnn, Sure! I will send it to you. Just need to de-identify the organization first.

I would love that agenda too please. thanks!

I will make sure Carla and all of the TA providers have it. Carla can attach it to the slides/recording email that goes out later.

Thanks Ann!

Thank you Ann!

I was curious to learn more about the communications plan that was mentioned. Do you have examples and/or innovative ways that folks have developed and used a communications plan with and for Network partners to help create ambassadors for the Network, public health work, etc.?

@Sondra, I will share a sample communications planning tool as well.
