CHAD works hard to ensure that network teams are well-functioning, with robust
    agendas, productive discussions and innovative training and assistance opportunities.
    The teams offer several benefits to participating members, including:

    • Identification of peer health center staff in the Dakotas to be used as a resource for
      asking questions and sharing ideas 

    • Networking opportunities to discuss relevant topics and issues 

    • Learning about national and regional best practices

    • Sharing experiences related to the implementation of best practices with peers, as
      well as developing ideas and solutions as a group

    • Using the CHAD team lead as a resource to seek out answers or examples
      from others

    • Identification of priority projects in which CHAD can assist in providing necessary
      training and/or technical assistance

    • Sharing information, resources and sample documents, and identifying ways CHCs in
      the Dakotas can be more efficient by working together on projects

   • Identification of future needs and priorities
