For each of the 2006 Focused Initiatives, a work plan that includes the strategies to be completed in 2006 was developed. During the 3rd quarter of the year, the strategy implementation teams initiated activities necessary to complete the strategies by the dates indicated. View the 2006 work plan for each Focused Initiative. The following report highlights some of the actions that were initiated during the 3rd quarter and includes information on the status of all strategies included in the work plan at the end of the 3rd quarter. Note that many of the strategies are continuing throughout the year and during any one quarter there may not be any new activities/deliverables that were completed. For additional information related to ASHA's Focused Initiatives, please contact Stan Dublinske, Senior Advisor for Planning at sdublinske@asha.org.
