TFA MEMBERS PULSE CHECK
As we began this process, we asked members to share what they were most proud of regarding TFA and what made us most unique. We used these findings to orient our work on the strengths of the organization. We’ve shared excerpts from the perspectives they shared below.

Stakeholder Reflections and Comments
“So, that’s one thing I’m really proud of that we are really reflecting the core values that started TransFormation Alliance, and that our new members have really taken to their own hearts and are showing up to embody as well.” “TFA members are really good at collaborating in order to achieve our shared goals, which has served us really well. Each time I have worked on putting together the TransFormation Academy, I’ve been able to reach out to different members and ask for whatever it was we needed, whether it was a space or different resources or trainers” “I would just like to say that I am most proud of the fact that we’ve been able to document all the efforts we have done and will be doing in the very near future. And I would say what makes us extremely unique is that we are a diverse group of organizations and individuals that can change the lives of young people. I look forward to changing the world with you soon. “ “We are very proud of the fact that we’ve been able to build trust within the community and our target areas and neighborhoods. I feel as though we have engaged our community stakeholders and community members and built this sense of trust that they now feel as though they can come to us, the TransFormation Alliance, for different resources, information, and just staying up to date.”
“What makes us so unique, or most unique, or super unique. The fact that we are able to come together as various organizations and work together collaboratively. Our membership is growing and as someone who’s been active on the executive level, I would say that that’s a beautiful thing and not something that we’ve seen. “ “I’m proud that we have one, worked together and stuck together, but then two, that we’re actually making a difference in the communities that we care about. The communities in West End and Oakland City and in the Atlanta University Center are definitely benefiting from the work we’ve done together. “ “As we look at this next level of the TransFormation Alliance, I’m excited about how effective that we’re going to be in this next round. How we have been able to leverage our collective resources together, how we’ve been able to work together and really grow this movement in a different way. So, thank you, TransFormation Alliance. I look forward to the next five years. “ “ What I believe we’re most proud of is the fact that we’ve been able to sustain such a large cohort of really amazing leaders in the community on the southwest side. “
“ I think one of the things that also makes us most unique, perhaps, in some of the other regional alliances is that we’re very diverse in my opinion. We’ve got that age diversity, race diversity, organizational diversity, and we’re all working together in a very cohesive and sober manner. “ “I continue to be most proud of TFAs approach to community change, how inclusive it is of the issues that are really reflective of individual’s lives, and how it fully embraces that past, present, and future of both what we’ve done here in Atlanta and what still holds as potential for us “ “I am proud, perhaps the most proud of the fact that we have embraced community engagement as a critical component of our approach to the work and I think we’re not just talking the talk, but we’re walking the walk and finding different ways to do that. Which has brought, I think, a tremendous amount of value to the work that we do “ “there’s such a broad coalition of organizations across all sectors of Atlanta coming together to ensure that we have a more equitable community. “
