As a VISTA leader, Dawn Follendorf keeps track of 18 members around Wisconsin. She's able to meet regularly with eight VISTAs who are assigned to Milwaukee, but she only visits face-to-face with her other members about three or four times a year.

To keep track of everyone's activities, Dawn has them submit a biweekly report:

• Members send the reports to both their site supervisors and to Dawn, so everyone is on the same page.
• The forms track sick days and personal days off, as well as activities.
• The report follows the same format as the quarterly reports, which makes it easy for VISTAs to "cut and paste" information.
