Question
Ask the Expert
Through the Practitioner Needs Assessment Survey, nearly 100 practitioners shared their ideas and SanMark experience, including areas they want to improve. What was clear from the survey is that most practitioners want advice, tools and tips on a specific problem or challenge - not just general guidance. To address this need, the SanMark Community of Practice will feature a monthly 'resident expert' - someone with practical experience or expertise who can help you address a particular challenge - or at least point you in the right direction. To submit a question fill in the form to the right (using the question button). Be sure to include a brief description of your project and context. Questions, answers and comments will be posted here.
