    27. Participatory Process Coalitions work as a team to write their goals, measurable objectives and work plan It takes about 2 ½ hours to write their first objective Part of the learning process is to critique the objectives together They then can write 2-3 objectives, along with work plans, in another 2 hours

    28. Contribution to Sustainability Coalitions identify ways to strengthen and market their coalitions Coalitions have concrete, measurable objectives that direct their plan The timelines for measuring their objectives gives them a program timeline Because they worked as a group, there is accountability to each other
