Understanding the Baseline Current Data

Coalition Breakout Session
Before communities can develop a plan for the future, they need to understand their current state. This includes determining the baseline of where they exist, reviewing data trends and identifying key indicators to create the important context in understanding the community. Once this baseline knowledge of the current state of the community is in place, then they can make recommendations about the future state.
