IV. Report Results to IKE
The goal of this project is to bring about significant improvement in the industry. We need to demonstrate that the problem is occurring across the county. And we need to praise improvement. IKE needs both anecdotes and statistics of your visits to accomplish this goal. You can gather this information in three different ways.
a. On-Line: IKE has developed an on-line form to enter your store visits. Go to www.ikecoalition.org/stores and click on “Share Your Experiences.” You will need to submit all of the information for a store at once.
b. Spreadsheet: IKE can provide you with a spreadsheet to serve as a template for entering the information. This is the easiest and most effective approach.
c. Email and Word: You can provide the information as you get it in email notes or in a Word document. This approach can be difficult but can work.
IKE will assemble the information and prepare a draft report for your use with local media and community leaders. This draft report will be similar to the March 19 report that IKE published at www.ikecoalition.org/stores.
IKE will need the information on the next page to develop the report (and provide a donation to the organization). Items marked with an asterisk are required.
