This is a composite schedule of the benchmarking data milestones (in color), the shared practice meetings & events (in black), and the steering committee meetings (in gray – all participants welcome). Registration links and details are updated monthly as the meeting agendas are established.
The benchmarking data schedule is designed to allow participants to input their data and review it thru various draft report cycles. This assures that the overall quality of the benchmarking report is maintained. We schedule most support webinars at two different times to allow participation from different time zones.
