|Communities better prepared for a disaster also present better public health outcomes, less social isolation, and less crime. When possible, PBEM should remove disaster resilience from its silo and connect programming to other resilience efforts.

|Use the Annual Customer Service survey to schedule advanced classes based on volunteer interests.
|‘Autonomy’ does not mean ‘chaos’. Continue to foster initiative, and reward integration of those efforts withing established NET policy and priorities.
'''JVK note:''' '''Agreed, but not sure this belongs in a strategic plan if a strategic plan presupposes maintaining a status quo.'''

|Recruit and train more NET trainers through Train the Trainer courses
|Team Leader Training
|
|
* Staff should continue to focus on training trainers, not delivering classes themselves. The latter is unsustainable.
* Continue developing and deploying the well-received [[Team Development Arcs]].  
 
* The upfront investment can be high, but so is the return. In the long term, volunteer’s willingness to instruct for reduced rates, and for free, constrain costs.  


* Ongoing management and vetting of instructors is critical, so that volunteers continue to know that training offered by PBEM is high quality.  
* Find and deliver general leadership development training.  


* Address Instructor Constraints Develop and regularly offer a training about ‘How to Be an Excellent Instructor,’ separate from SME topic. Resources have been identified, but the project has not been a priority.  
* Implement, directly or through FPN, a TL mentorship program.  
 
* Demonstrated success with this model:
** VSF02 – Radio/RTLs
** VSF08 – NET HSI Instructor cadre
** VSF14 – Speakers Bureau

|Large-scale Exercises
|Generate income
|
|Convert NET into an enterprise program.
* Continue integrating NET/BEECN into exercises, like IronOR.  
 
* Acknowledge that initiating a payment acceptance mechanism could potentially harm perception of the programs.
 
* Acknowledge that any income generation could cause, or be perceived to cause, competition for funds with Friends of Portland NET.
 
* Consider minimal fees, e.g. $5 for CPR training.
 
* Consider sliding-scale fees.  


* Continue CDEs, with inclusion of other Oregon CERTs.  
* Consider ‘pay it forward’ options for Basic NET Training, allowing new NETs to make a completely optional donation to defray the costs of BNT for future trainees.  


* Conduct an overnight and multi-day exercise.  
* Consider class fees that are refunded for attendance, or forfeited for not-attendance. The intent here is to reduce no-shows, rather than raise revenue.
* Payment receipt options are numerous. Other bureaus have adopted their own disparate mechanisms, so there is a precedent. An amendment to City Code by Council might be required.
