Role of Finance Workgroup • Evidence2Success includes the development of focused financing capacity. • Finance lead: Facilitate strategic finance planning process • Finance workgroup: Support design, development and implementation of a cross-agency strategic financing plan • Workgroup recommendations to be reviewed and adopted by the full community board.
