The BEACON helps healthcare and community collaborations to reflect on where they are in their collective leadership. Please bring all core team members (and anyone else who will take the assessment together) to introduce them to what the assessment will be about and the instructions.

Please make sure all teammates check their inboxes [and spam folders] for an email from J2@weintheworld.org if you are doing the assessment electronically–or send it to them by email if completing on paper. Instructions about how to complete the assessment will be included in the email and can also be found below. The way the BEACON is intended to be used is described below:

After your team has completed the assessment:
