<p class="MsoNormal">Lisa Mullins Thompson is facilitating the session on the new Accreditation Standards and attached is the new self-assessment. The assessment tool explains each standard (there are six now) and many of you may have already participated
in the online training. The .pdf fillable community assessment worksheet starts on page 20, the scores automatically total and there are sections for notes. We would appreciate you filling it out to the best of your ability and sending it back to me by Monday,
October 17<sup>th</sup>. Lisa and the OMSC team are reviewing the assessments and looking for overarching gaps. Accreditation is for Designated programs only but this is a great tool for Associate and Network programs to more fully understand the scope of
Main Street.<o:p></o:p></p>
