| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Considering that our Early Childhood Education Advisory board has not met since prior to the pandemic, it is critical to the department assessment process that we reestablish this collaboration. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | While there is no funding tied to this initiative, not carrying out this work will limit the external perspectives needed to keep our programs current. |
| Department Goals | Restructure and reconvene an Education Advisory Board to increase outside knowledge of our programming and to elicit valuable feedback. |

| Goal | How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
|---|---|
|
The convening of the advisory board will allow community members to be aware of our latest programming, and to provide valuable feedback about our students and the needs of the community. |
|
Part of assessing our programming includes taking the varied perspectives of our community stakeholders into account. This advisory board collaboration will allow for this to happen. |
