Description
Utilize a regional dashboard of indicators (data points) to monitor, measure, and evaluate success of the Age Wave planning in alignment with other regional efforts and statewide initiatives such as No Wrong Door. 

Progress 
A 20+ member group culled and reviewed extensive national/regional/local datasets to develop a framework for our regional dashboard. This work group continues to provide guidance on emerging datasets and indicators from other work group areas that can inform progress of our work through other regional models and planning efforts across the country.
