A recommendation that has a clear, named owner and can be addressed through an Recommendation Action Lists. 

Action Lists are a succinct group of recommendations that are expressly assigned to the organization or entity that has the power and ability to address it. The NH Food Alliance has drafts up a list of recommendations to provide to leadership at the organization or entity and presents it to them. Then they will select which recommendations they will work on and how. Organization leadership will report back to NHFA and other leadership part of the Network Leadership Team about their progress, in addition to asking for collaboration and support of their work as needed.
