Lakewood Community Collaboration seeks input from members

By Kim Dodds, Human Services Coordinator, City of Lakewood

Dear Collaboration Members:

I participate in a coalition facilitator learning group convened by the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department. The Health Department has offered, and I would like us to participate in, a survey monkey questionnaire that will help evaluate the strengths of our Collaboration, and where we can make improvements. The survey will also ask one question about what if any value the Health Department adds to our Collaboration. The results of this survey will:

1. Demonstrate what Collaboration is doing well and what efforts we can celebrate
2. Help us learn how we could help make our Collaboration even more effective
3. Help generate more training opportunities and support to our Collaboration

As you fill out the survey, please remember that collaboration work is an art, almost always underfunded or underresourced, with ever changing membership and makeup that is very different from community to community. It is alright, and even expected, that our Collaboration may not be strong in all areas, so we appreciate your honest feedback. If you have any questions about the survey, please feel free to contact me at kdodds@cityoflakewood.us or Marcy Boulet at the Health Department, mboulet@tpchd.org.
