Salinas Collaborative Action Team 

Since the last ECDI Salinas Working Session, several of you came forward to help plan for the Salinas Collaborative Action Team to complete an Engagement Opportunity Request (EOR) document.  If Salinas decides to seek technical support and capacity building services from ECDI, a well-rounded Collaborative Action Team needs to identify what services are needed to improve the ECDI indicators.

 The next Salinas meeting will be:

 Date: August 20, 2014

 Time:  6:00-7:30p

 Location: Sun Street Center, 128 E. Alisal Street, Salinas

 A light dinner, Spanish interpretation and toys for children will be provided.  Please RSVP so that we can ensure we have enough food, chairs and space for the meeting.

 During the meeting we will walk through the Engagement Opportunity Request (EOR) document and community members interested in providing input on the needs of the community will have a chance to give input.  We encourage you all to reach out to everyone you think should participate.  This is the opportunity for your community to direct the change needed.  Remember the goal is for cross-sector Collaborative Action Teams to include people from each of these categories: Education – superintendent, principal; early education provider; business leader; health/social service provider; faith leader; local government leader; community-based group; parent/parenting group; and a local elected official.

 Thank you so much for working to ensure our children receive the best possible start in life and are supported as they grow and thrive.

 Every child, every community, every step of the way.
