“This toolkit includes a number of tools for the formation of a Steering Committee. … The tools have been generalized to be applicable across contexts; however, because no two collective impact efforts are the same, these resources should be considered a starting place to be tailored to the unique circumstances of each initiative.”

“This toolkit includes the following resources:

• Guide for Identifying Steering Committee Members – to aid in the identification and selection of appropriate Steering Committee members
• Description of Steering Committee Member Responsibilities – to provide an overview of the role of the Steering Committee and the responsibilities of its members
• Steering Committee Governance Agreement – while optional, having Steering Committee members sign this agreement can indicate commitment to their role and responsibilities
• Sample Steering Committee Meeting Agendas – to provide guideline objectives for a series of six Steering Committee meetings; the number and specific content of meetings should be tailored to the context of each Collective Impact initiative
• Discussion Guides – to be used during the first and second Steering Committee meetings to help members share their personal motivations, identify key challenges and opportunities in the local environment, envision long-term initiative goals, and develop a common agenda.”
