SisterWeb Goal Scorecards
From its first months of operation, SisterWeb adopted Results Based Accountability as the guiding framework to help us clarify our purpose and hold ourselves accountable to the communities we uplift and serve. Each of our four organizational goals, redesigned in our strategic planning process, has a linked scorecard (similar to a report card) which makes our data visible and helps us stay on track.
Goal 1 - SisterWeb nurtures a skilled workforce of Community Doulas who see
birth work as a viable profession.
Goal 2 - SisterWeb’s culturally congruent holistic doula care supports Black - Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander - and Latina/o/x pregnant and birthing people in achieving their own birth goals.
Goal 3 - SisterWeb engages in the national movement to eliminate structural racism in healthcare systems as a driver of birth inequities.
Goal 4 - SisterWeb expands and strengthens its operational effectiveness and organizational sustainability.
The score reflected for each goal is not fixed. These scorecards are directly linked to our Compyle database, so the score is updated in real-time as more data flows into our system.
