DRIVE 2.0 – Consensus Meetings

What are the Community Consensus Meetings?

The Community Consensus Meeting is how DRIVE 2.0 will be implemented into the communities across Virginia. Once communities come to a consensus on their promotion, product and make the case/ advocacy plans they will have the opportunity to apply for grant funds to implement any effort from those plans.

What happens at a Community Consensus Meeting?

The results of the community hub and spoke survey will be reviewed by either VTC staff and/or SIR to facilitate the in-person or virtual Community Consensus Meeting.

3. The group will discuss and review each Hub and Spoke with the facilitator and discuss next steps to put the Hub and Spoke plans into action.
