4) Open discussion surrounding system change and the action team goals keystatements

-Definition of terms community member, grassroots, bottoms-up

-Use zip codes to identify the community

-Example of system changes 1 day of gym per week does is not enough, canwe work towards developing a policy that will mandate a specific amount of

physical activity in schools

-Mention of template to identify the expectations of the action team-Get information from previous town hall meetings & surveys

-Let the data inform the problems that the group desires to attack

-Should look to find out the opposite, why are the people that are physicallyactive, physically active?

-Be mindful in the choice of terms and acronyms that are used
