Lessons learned

Lessons from this month

A key objective of the funding is to enable the movement as a whole to understand how to achieve shared goals better and faster. An important way of doing this is to identify lessons learned from entities who receive funds, and to share these lessons across the movement. The purpose of this section is to elicit some of these insights, which will be shared throughout the movement. Please answer the following questions in 1–2 paragraphs each.

What were your major accomplishments in the past month, and how did you help to achieve movement goals?

  • Finding a volunteer who wants to dedicate 40% time to the Education Program.
  • Drafting the program plan for the next year.

What were your major setbacks in the past month (e.g., programs that were not successful)?

  • No major setbacks in August.

What factors (organizational, environmental) enabled your success?

What unanticipated challenges did you encounter and how did this affect what you were able to accomplish?

  • Nu surprises in August.

What changes might you make in executing your initiatives into the next month?

  • The fact that the summer is over, schools are starting and we all are back from vacations means that the major change will be that we are up to full speed again.
