Return to ReACT Tool Kit Outline

Pre-Meeting Proposed Agenda

  • All participating groups, whether based in the vulnerable community or based outside the community, discuss and understand the scope of the project, goals, funding, what is expected from the community, and how the community will benefit. Discuss the numbers of people that will be needed from within the community.
  • Establish the systems that will be needed to support the project. This includes who will be tracking and reimbursing expenses, and the amount of money available in total.
  • Discuss community events already on the calendar and things going on in the community, such as community gardens and health initiatives. Understand the social context for your project.
  • Identify any existing networks in the community. Is there a block captain system? Has the health department set up a notification system that involves key leaders? Does a local school have an emergency telephone tree? Do the churches play a major role in the community, or are the members of local churches commuting in from outside the community?
  • Next Steps:
    o Finance systems set up
    o Community leaders begin speaking to others in their community to prepare the Climate and Health presentation for Meeting 1
    o Encourage all leaders to explore www.ReACTToolKit.net.
    o Leaders can watch the training videos
