These Councils will be an important source of information and guidance for the Impact Councils as they determine priorities, select impact targets and develop intervention strategies. County Solutions Councils will also be involved in the expenditure of Community Fund dollars that have been donated by county residents. Program outcomes are benefits or changes for individuals or populations during or after participating in program activities. They are the results of a program which are logically linked to the activities of the program. Outcomes may relate to behavior, skills, knowledge, attitudes, values, conditions, or other attributes.
Strategies connect program outcomes to community outcomes.
An important part of the regular planning cycle for this process will involve a community impact assessment, to gauge how the process has contributed to changes in community indicators. Individuals were selected from a number of sources including nominations from a wide range of organizations and individuals, past UW volunteers, agency representatives, community partners, and consumers. Particular attention was given to insure diversity and experience and to reflect the community that we serve. Persons interested in being considered for membership on an Impact Council should ask for a handout titled, Guidelines for Impact Council Participant Nomination and complete a Community Impact Council Nomination Form. These forms may be obtained by contacting the Impact Council Coordinator of the Council in which you are interested, or contact the Vice President of Community Building.
