August Notes from Wilder Research regarding draft

Please note that while the inner pages are close to final, the front and back pages are very drafty:

 

•             Page 1: We did not want to proceed too far on “Notable Trends” without your feedback. We will add some visuals when we know we are resonating with your group. I think the outline we have captures most of our brainstorming last time we met, but it is quite possible that something else will strike you and others now that the dashboard is more complete.

 

•             Pages 2 & 3: We think we modified the Population at the glance in the ways that the group discussed. We also finalized (or nearly finalized) the Dashboard data and labeling. Let us know if things are making sense!

 

•             Page 4: We took a stab at describing the 4 major initiatives that we’ve discussed with you (CNG, J2G, the community health needs assessment, and DMC). But we very much want to confirm with you (a) that these are indeed the right groups, and (b) that we’ve described them in the right way. The copy was adapted from public websites, but we welcome your feedback and revisions.
