We would also like to thank our funding partners, Vanderbilt Children's Hospital, and the HCA Foundation, for putting this event together.

	Alignment Nashville, under the leadership of Sydney Rodgers, will take the prioritized needs, strategies, and tactics back to the six alignment committees.
	The HCA Foundation, Junior League, and Vanderbilt Children’s hospital will use this information in strategic planning for their 2008 funding cycles.
	The Executive Sponsor Team, led by Joanne Pulles, will take this information to a group of local funders including United Way.
	The HCA Foundation in collaboration with Alignment Nashville will issue a report to all the participating organizations about activities and progress since the design session on the six goals by May 2008.
	Alignment Nashville is planning 6-8 pilot projects through the health committees for Fall 2007, expecting to take them to scale in 2008. We expect the six committees to have identified their respective pilots by June 1.
