Does the advocate have good communication skills?
In addition to being able to listen well and absorb information, the advocate needs to be able to support and communicate your Community Quality Collaboratives messages to his/her constituency. The following worksheet is designed to help you keep track of potential partners. (See Section 6: Resources for a full-page version of this sample form.) As discussed later in this Guide, it is possible that participants in the Community Quality Collaborative will need to leave the group over time, so it will be helpful to Community Quality Collaborative leaders to be able to refer back to this record of your research and your reasons for selecting specific individuals to participate.
