presentation to advisory board on ERPO implementation

LISC was in contact weekly (often daily) with BJA representatives to plan the 2024 CVIPI Grantee Conference and hosted weekly 2024 CVIPI Grantee Conference Planning Meetings. Planning activities included submitting for approval convening planning timelines, presenters, and descriptions; conference workshop descriptions, presenters, and learning objectives; conference cost approval requests; draft hotel and A/V provider contracts; and webpage designs.

LISC continued virtually convening peer CVIPI TTA providers from READI, The Community Based Public Safety Collective, and Urban Institute and facilitated information sharing, collaboration, and coordination of delivery in supporting CVIPI grantees across awards. These meetings were scheduled twice monthly throughout the majority of the reporting period and covered topics related to the 2024 CVIPI Grantee Conference, webinar series, resource development, grantee needs, and environmental scans of the community violence intervention and prevention field.

The National CVIPI Resource and Field Support Center website includes a TTA Request Form and Community of Practice Request Form. LISC has received and responded to numerous requests and reviews TTA delivery data to prioritize future TTA support and resources for the field.

LISC leverages the support of CNA (support development of the CVIPI checklist tool); Urban Peace Institute, Roca, Inc., PJ Fox, and Alliance of Concerned Men (support of planning and implementing CVIPI approach); and Dr. Shani Buggs, Dr. Kathryn Bocanegra and Anne Marks (impact of trauma and importance of trauma responsive efforts). We hold calls with our SMEs to update them on program activity and our plans for further resources, as well as leveraging our SMEs for the ongoing delivery of webinars, TTA, and conference workshops.
