This webinar engaged participants in reviewing and weighing in on a new strategic plan that is being developed for the Strengthening Families initiative. See how the plan is taking shape so far, and share your thoughts on what should be included and where you think we (CSSP and national, state, and local partners) should focus our energy in the coming years to ensure that more families have opportunities to build their protective factors. Even if you missed the webinar, you can still respond to the survey before April 12, 2019 at: https://goo.gl/forms/XL1VxO9Q9Gji3Feg1.
Walking the Talk: Race Equity and Parent Leadership
March 2019
Members of EC-LINC’s Parent Leader Network Steering Committee spoke to local funders, city and county leaders, and others affiliated with the National Collaborative for Infants and Toddlers (NCIT) about the Manifesto for Race Equity and Parent Leadership in Early Childhood Systems. They also answered questions about what participants and their agencies/organizations could do better to facilitate authentic and sustained parent engagement, such as proper compensation, involvement of parents in co-design of activities and events, parent inclusion on decision-making teams, and more.
