DPG Heat Map

A newly created DPG heat map is now available that illustrates areas of shared membership across DPGs. The heat map should be read in rows rather than columns to accurately interpret the data. This tool is designed to help DPGs identify opportunities for partnerships, joint programming, and other collaborations.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions about how to interpret or use this resource.
