engaged with DV orgs

A critical mass of respected DV leaders recognizes the need and opportunity for change.•There is a sufficient number of leaders and organizations with a baseline of capacity and readiness to make change. •BSCF believes a leadership program can provide the structure and support to develop leaders that will catalyze change and advance the field.

Technically and financially well-resourced organizations are needed to lead the field.•Organizations are constantly operating in crisis mode.•Few resources are available for leadership or management development.•Staff turnover with limited succession planning and low salaries limit progress.•Scarcity mindset can constrain collaboration and innovation.

Network Building & Knowledge Sharing•Shared between SFP partners•Content coordination/integration•CPEDV partnership•Statewide & regional convenings•Webinars•Tracking of field capacity•SFP website/extranet•Technical assistance directory

Creative and effective tools, practices, models, and

collaborations (organizational and regional) to address DV

Increased skills, knowledge & spaces to develop a coordinated & shared agenda to prevent/end DV

Increased engagement by state and local leadership to shape and advance a coordinated DV policy

advocacy agenda

Stronger collaborative and individual leadership will improve the DV field’s impact.•Individual DV leaders have limited time/ opportunities to step away from the fray, connect as a network, and innovate.•In some regions, the system of DV services is fragmented and isolated.•Different perspectives about how to prevent and end DV sometimes impede coordination and clear messaging.•Some high-need, underserved populations are underrepresented in field leadership.
