Recognizing the impact of obesity on Alaskans, the state’s Obesity Prevention and Control Program (OPCP) sought to align the efforts of the program and its partner organizations by convening a community-based coalition focused on improving children’s health. OPCP contracted with Agnew::Beck to design a strategic planning process for the coalition. Agnew::Beck led the nascent coalition through a data-driven, Results-based Accountability (RBA) method to develop priorities and strategies to change the trend of increasing numbers of obese children. In addition to developing the strategic planning process and plan, Agnew::Beck led the coalition through a branding and naming effort; built a website for the coalition; and organized an inaugural childhood obesity prevention and child health summit.
