CHIP STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING GOAL SETTING

The West Allis and West Milwaukee CHIP Steering Committee met for a second time on November 14, 2022. After a large group discussion of the areas of focus and further review of the data on the populations most affected by each area of focus, the group utilized asset mapping to identify strengths and gaps in our community. Following this, a 25/10 crowd sourcing activity was conducted to identify root causes or contributing factors for each area of focus. The top assets, gaps, and root causes were then presented in small groups where steering committee members finalized the goals for the areas of focus.
