Overall Mission
The overall mission/purpose of the measurement subcommittee is to work cooperatively to support the SBO/SBEAP National Steering Committee, improve SBEAP measurement information, training, and resources, and respond to SBEAP measurement needs in a timely manner.  "

History and Current Status
The measurement subcommittee was initiated as a result of the Working Session at the 2004 SBO/SBAP National Conference in Sacramento, California.  Sally Tarowsky was instrumental at coordinating the efforts of the session at that time.  At the 2005 National Conference in Biloxi, Mississippi, there was a renewed interest in the measurement subcommittee considering the current issues with multimedia assistance and the efforts of the promotional subcommittee.  Currently, the subcommittee is chaired by Kenya Stump of the Kentucky Business Environmental Assistance Program.  The subcommittee has completed the development of a Nationwide Logic Model and common measures from the Logic Model with the assistance of the EPA National Center for Environmental Innovation's Evaluation Support Division (NCEI ESD).  The models were presented at the 2006 SBO/SBEAP National Conference in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.

Future Plans
Future plans include:  1) provide online training to members and states, 2) survey states on draft measures, 3) develop measurement guidelines and recommend a suite of measures for states to utilize on a voluntary basis, and 4) work cooperatively with other subcommittees to incorporate measurement issues.
