services in our community. The CAN partners understand that making significant improvements requires first knowing where we stand as a community and second agreeing to work together to move these indicators in the right direction.
Building a community dashboard
Community Action Network appointed a Dashboard Steering Committee in 2009 made up of people who represent a broad array of issues including health and human services, education, workforce, mental health and criminal justice. This Committee used as its starting point the work of many collaborations in Austin and Travis County and around the nation that have developed outcomes and indicators to measure community progress. The Dashboard Steering Committee will continue to work with the CAN Board of Directors to oversee the progress of the community dashboard and to make recommendations for improving this annual report.
Shifting into gear—moving to action.
Now that key indicators have been identified, the Dashboard Steering Committee will work with community stakeholders to examine the indicators more carefully. CAN Community Council televised forums throughout the year will highlight information about each of these indicators and about local initiatives to move these indicators in the right direction.
