Are we doing our job well?

 

We have several metrics that we track in order to measure our effectiveness, including many that are required by our grants.  We also are evaluated each year by at least one independent agency - so we know we have made progress!  But we are fighting a really big battle and we will do better every time we get more help.  Want to know more?
