Community ACEs initiatives are often launched by a small group of enthusiastic people who make time to meet monthly, who begin to incorporate this work into their job descriptions or their volunteer efforts, and who drive the initial effort. These folks usually form the Steering Committee. Here is a sample agenda for Steering Committee meetings. The Steering Committee plans large community meetings (more on those below), and creates subcommittees or workgroups organized around outreach, communications, or data. Workgroups can also be organized around a sector such as education, health, business, etc. These workgroups recruit community members to continue to grow the initiative and to replace members as they cycle off. Members can represent organizations or themselves as engaged individuals.
A community can be a neighborhood, town, city, county, region, state or nation.
