Data Source and Calculation
Sum of the Board's federal performance measures IFA 1.1, IFA 1.2, and SC 1.4 for policy-related activities. The number is then unduplicated so that the same individual (e.g., a legislator) is not counted more than once across activities. People who participated in the effort but were not trained, such as people who provided input via focus groups, are excluded.
