National Meeting, November 2012 (San Francisco, CA)

The AF4Q Alliances have made incredible inroads in improving the quality of health and healthcare in their communities. From identifying bright spots to hardwiring a culture of continuous innovation into their daily work, Alliances are working toward long-term sustainability of their efforts while becoming resources others turn to for lessons learned along the way. Spread of lessons relies on story. At the November meeting, AF4Q Alliance teams will be challenged as never before to tell the story of their Alliance, as well as the many chapters that make up that tale. We will address not only the “what” of your story, but the “who” needs to hear it and the “how” you make sure they do. This meeting is targeted at a wide range of stakeholders, so we hope project directors will consider their many Alliance perspectives when inviting attendees to this meeting, as all voices are vital to the story.
