What Could Be Improved?

What Could be Improved?

• Purpose of Change Day more clear– Word “pledge” connotes a donation of some sort

• Increase awareness of executive support– Removing the need for permission to participate.– Ensuring people at the grassroots truly

understand.– Giving permission for Ambassadors within an

organization to come together.
