PREMISE AND PROMISE WORKSHEET

This worksheet will help our collaboration prepare to write its charter. 
This worksheet will help you identify some very basic approaches to your work. Each of the questions below require discussion among all partners. When you can summarize your conclusions in the space below, then you and your partners will know how to proceed to create a charter.


1.  What is the premise of your collaboration?

There is a difference between coordinating, cooperating and collaborating.
Collaborating is a process to use to change systems. Are you and your partners just completing a task, or are you striving to change the ways services are provided to women with disabilities and Deaf women?






2.  What is the promise of your collaboration?

Your grant from OVW has requirements. What are they?





What results do you want from participating in this work?





Who will be judging your success? How will you know that you are getting results that are important to them?
