Strategic Plan Questions & Answers:

Do you anticipate in-person meetings?

We will follow all CDC and State Health Department guidelines for any in-person meetings.  We will also provide the option to meet virtually.

Are out-of-state travel expenses acceptable to include in the budget?

Yes, please be sure to add in related travel costs.  

Do you have a budget/range already in mind?

We have allocated what we feel is a generous budget to be able to facilitate the number of key interviews, focus groups, and meetings. For clarity in proposals, it is acceptable to add them as a line item; e.g. Key Stakeholder Interviews (#) x $_/per interview = cost in proposal

How many leadership staff should we plan to interview?

Plan on 5 to 6.

Can you tell me when your last needs assessment was completed?

2018 for our SAC (Service Area Competition)

And, when your last strategic plan was completed?

2016

Do you have a recent strategic plan that can be shared?

Not at this time.  We want applicants to focus on new processes and structure.
