   • Show how your work (program, campaign, etc) is aligned with the Roadmap as a way to demonstrate that it’s connected to broader, national efforts to end SV/DV in sport
   • Build communities of practice that convene people and organizations working toward this shared vision and use the Roadmap to identify if there is full coverage of this change model
   • Name promising SV/DV prevention practices across the sport pipeline that are achieving each outcome
