What are Long-Term Action Teams?
A Long-Term Action Team exists to select and plan ongoing prevention efforts that relate to a specific audience or topic. The team will usually meet on a monthly basis. They also provide guidance and direction to Short-Term Action Teams.
Long-Term Action Teams include the following:
- Advisory Action Team, contact person is Kathy Asper at kasper@arborplaceinc.org
- Community Action Team, contact person is Kathy Asper at kasper@arborplaceinc.org
- Parent Action Team, contact person is Sheli Jo Metzger at smetzger@arborplaceinc.org
- Youth Action Team, contact person is Kathy Asper at kasper@arborplaceinc.org
- Evaluation and Assessment Team, contact person is Kathy Asper at kasper@arborplaceinc.org
What are Short-Term Action Teams?
As needs/issues arise that align with the DCPFY mission/vision and are identified as a priority by the General Partnership or one of its Action Teams, a Short Team Action Team (STAT) can be convened.
- STATs will focus on planning and implementing specific projects, programs or events that can be completed within a short time frame (2-6 months.)
- STATs provide DCPFY members, and others in the community, the opportunity for shorter periods of commitment on an issue or project of interest. (e.g. Dark Side of the Moon Contest for Teens, Conducting YRBS in Dunn County Schools, Candidate Forums.)
