Question:
This past year I started implementation of a program which promotes a healthy active lifestyle to older adults in my community. The reception has been warm but I would like to involve others yet I have a hard time turning my baby over. Do you have any advice, I know conciously if I wish to reach as many participants as possible training others would be the ideal situation yet I have a problem handing over my name and reputation to someone else. Thank you for your time.
Answer:

Thank you for contacting Ask an Advisor. It sounds like you have developed an important program. The set of tasks and skills needed to translate the program as you have developed it into something that others can follow can be a challenge. Many programs have encountered these challenges. We suggest that you use the CTB website resources for reading material that will help you as you proceed to include others in your intervention. In particular, we suggest looking at "Table of Contents" tab on the purple strip at the top of the CTB homepage. Part D. Developing a Strategic Plan, Organizational Structure, and Training System(Chapters 8 - 12) * Chapter 8. Developing a Strategic Plan * Chapter 9. Developing an Organizational Structure for the Initiative * Chapter 10. Hiring and Training Key Staff of Community Organizations * Chapter 11. Recruiting and Training Volunteers * Chapter 12. Providing Training and Technical Assistance This section contains information about developing a strategic plan (e.g., vision, mission, action plan) and organizational structure (e.g., bylaws, board of directors) and hiring and training staff, recruiting and training volunteers, and providing technical assistance. Thanks again for contacting Ask an Advisor at CTB. We hope the information was useful.
