Which of the following is NOT a step in the process of creating an effective community coalition?

  1. Determining staffing, budget, and resources.

  2. Clarifying expectations of the coalition.

  3. Defining goals and objectives.

  4. Creating an end-date for the coalition's work.

The correct answer is: Creating an end-date for the coalition's work.

Creating an end-date for the coalition's work is not a step in the process of creating an effective community coalition because effective coalitions typically aim to be sustainable over the long term to address ongoing community needs. Setting an end-date may limit the coalition's ability to continue making a positive impact and responding to evolving community issues. It is important for coalitions to focus on establishing clear goals, defining roles and responsibilities, securing adequate staffing, budget, and resources, and clarifying expectations to ensure effectiveness and sustainability.
