Feedback - How can we make it work?

• Need to agree on the frequency of HOMES meetings
  .
• For bonding purposes it was suggested we meet
  once per month in each others home and then once
  at the House of Praise
• A process for monitoring and evaluation needs to
  be established.
• Someone needs to be appointed with overall
  responsibility and authority to administer this
  system
