This readiness guide, created by Southern Regional Children's Advocacy Center (SRCAC), is designed for those Chapter organizations who may be deciding whether to implement a statewide case management system. This guide does not provide any specific recommendations on systems but instead walks the reader through key factors to consider. It provides a comprehensive checklist and explores key readiness focus areas such as membership need, chapter authority, staff capacity, IT infrastructure, financial resources, and governance. The guide is designed to facilitate reflective self-analysis and informed decision-making, ensuring that chapters undertake initiatives that align with their current capacity and growth objectives.
