  • Plan and organize the effort
  • Develop each element of the application
  • Provide the right type of information in your responses to Criteria questions
  • Describe your processes and results clearly and concisely, and use tables, graphs, and diagrams to help tell your story
  • Align your responses across the Organizational Profile, and Process and Results Categories

Because this workshop will run over lunch, it will include a boxed lunch.
