To move from prioritization to implementation requires organization in the community, ideally by task forces in charge of the respective priorities. The task forces would be charged with creating action plans to address:
ACTION STEPS TO MOVE THESE PRIORITIES FORWARD •
Consolidate recommendations under each strategic priority
•
Develop concrete tasks to fulfill each recommendation
•
Responsibility: Championing Goals of The Study
•
Assign goal champions to coordinate each task and maintain contact over time
•
Define community partners needed for implementation
Tasks, resources, and potential partners to realize priorities can be mined from the rich feedback provided in this study. As an example of how to create task forces, schedule a facilitated meeting with cross-sectoral partners. This initial conversation may include defining the next steps and who will commit to act upon them. At this pivotal historical moment, when arts and culture are recognized as a powerful tool for recovery and healing, Prince George’s County is well positioned to grow its existing strengths and develop additional opportunities. With the completion of this study, the clear and concrete actions that follow can continue to develop the foundations of a robust Prince George’s County cultural plan.
