2024 Report Card

T. Glover further reviewed the Evaluation Framework with Compass Kitchener members. Members all agreed to proceed using this framework for the evaluation of all 2023-2026 Strategic Plan actions. 

J. Young shared the project evaluation template with the group and explained it will be sent to Project Managers (PMs) along with a request for their project information. S. Sweazey indicated she will send the request to PMs and encourage them to join a future Compass Kitchener meeting to further discuss their project and answer any questions.

T. Glover noted only two projects are completed and ready to be evaluated at this time. S. Sweazey told the group she will send a request for information to each PM following today's meeting and they will have a 30-day period to respond.

In addition to evaluating the two completed projects, T. Glover raised the potential for Compass Kitchener to review the Strategic Plan as part of the 2024 report card, to which the group agreed.
