2. Outline of Presentation • Overview of Goals, Objectives, and Measureable Indicators • Timeline • Action: Collaboration and Stakeholder Involvement • Questions/Comments

3. Mission Analytics was contracted to manage the SPIL process. • The SPIL will • Cover the period 2014-2016 • Establish the focus of 7B funds during this period • Encourage the IL network to undertake new and innovative projects.

4. Overview of 2014-2016 SPIL • preliminary draft of the SPIL goals, objectives, and indicators. • We expect to make substantial changes to this document based on community feedback. • guidelines drawn from the SPIL development workshop by ILRU; seen and approved by RSA.

5. We used guidelines from an RSA approved workshop • First, decide what you want to achieve. • What are your goals and objectives? • Second, create specifics. • How will you measure this? What are your targets? • Third, develop an action strategy. • What activities? Who is responsible? What resources are need?

6. Overview: Structure • Goals: These are the desired outcomes. We may not expect to complete a goal in three years, but we should be able to see progress. We therefore tried to create goals that are attainable and realistic. • Objectives: These are our short-term outcomes. We expect to be able to complete an objective in 3 years. • Measurable Indicators: These are the data that we expect to collect to know whether we are successful with our objectives. An indicator defines our objective.

7. Vision: To influence policy and access to service delivery for all individuals with disabilities in California. • Mission: To create policy and systems change for independent living.

8. Goal 1: As a means to achieve lasting, grassroots change, members of the IL network enhance their community organizing efforts. • Objective 1: The Systems Change Network provides members of the IL network with technical assistance on community organizing topics. • Measurable Indicator: 100% of network entities that request it receive technical assistance on community organizing topics. • Objective 2: Members of the IL network increase community engagement in events. • Measurable Indicator: Members of the IL network increase attendance at community events by 20 percent over 2013 baseline numbers.

9. Goal 1: As a means to achieve lasting, grassroots change, members of the IL network enhance their community organizing efforts. • Objective 3: Through community organizing, members of the IL network achieve "policy wins" (changes to local or regional policy on issues such as housing, employment, etc.) that can clearly be attributed to community organizing. • Measurable Indicator: Members of the IL network achieve two (2) documented policy wins that can clearly be linked to their community organizing efforts (e.g., by showing that members of the community drove the process of achieving these wins, engaged decision makers, etc.).

10. Goal 2: Individuals currently residing in institutions transition successfully into community settings. • Objective 1: Funds awarded to the IL network through the transition fund support the movement of individuals from institutions into the community. • Measurable Indicator: 80% of individuals who receive funds transition into the community and remain in the community for at least one year. • Objective 2: Individuals who transition out of nursing homes are assessed on their quality of life through the UCSF “Quality of Life” Survey. • Measurable Indicator: 65% of individuals who transition complete survey.

11. Goal 3: Members of the IL network build internal capacity through entrepreneurial activities and partnerships with other networks and organizations. • Objective 1: The IL network undertakes entrepreneurial ventures that sustain or grow their capacity to serve consumers. • Measurable Indicator: 100% of IL network entities that receive 7B funds for an entrepreneurial venture create a business plan. • Measurable Indicator: 100% of IL sites that receive 7B funds for an entrepreneurial venture begin operation of their venture.

12. Goal 3: Members of the IL network build internal capacity through entrepreneurial activities and partnerships with other networks and organizations. • Objective 2: IL network entities partner with other networks and organizations to generate revenue for their programs. • Measurable Indicator: 100% of IL network entities that receive 7B funds for an entrepreneurial partnership execute a memorandum of understanding or other formal agreement with one or more partners.

13. Goal 4: In order to build a more robust statewide system,the IL network will achieve greater long-term stability. • Objective 1: A working group from the IL network identifies new outcome measures to be captured in client databases and pilots a standardized data collection system. • Measurable Indicator: The working group produces a recommendations document about outcomes measures. • Measurable Indicator: The working group produces a recommendations document about data collection systems.

14. Goal 4: In order to build a more robust statewide system,the IL network will achieve greater long-term stability. • Objective 2:IL network entities “in need” receive technical assistance from a contractor hired using 7B funds. • Measurable Indicator: 100% of IL network entities designated “in need” receive technical assistance. • Objective 3:IL network entities “in need” develop a mentorship relationship with a successful entity in the IL network. The mentorship program will be facilitated and monitored by a contractor hired using 7B funds. • Measurable Indicator: 50% of IL network entities designated “in need” develop a mentorship relationship.

15. Goal 4: In order to build a more robust statewide system,the IL network will achieve greater long-term stability. IL network entities are identified as “In Need” if they are addressing organizational deficiencies in policies or processes that have been identified by Department of Rehabilitation (DOR), Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) review teams, or by the organization’s board of directors.

16. Other Notes: • The group agreed to table the discussion on Special Populations: youth, Asian Americans, deaf and hard of hearing, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex (LGBTQI). The group also agreed to wait to discuss ILCs with lower penetration rates or transportation issues. We will need to address this. • We may change Goal 2, Objective 2 once we have more information from UCSF about how they score their survey and what changes they expect.
