In 2017, as part of its 25th anniversary activities, CAN developed a new publication called Profiles of Collaboration as a way to highlight effective collaboration that is being undertaken in our local community. This is the first in a series of profiles that is intended to capture the elements that are characteristic of effective collaboration and that, ultimately, can be used as a template for determining how to initiate collaborative action to address other pressing challenges faced by our community and to grow these collaborative efforts in a way that is sustainable and leads to the desired outcomes.
The 2017 Profile focuses on the issue of “kindergarten readiness” and, specifically, the efforts aimed at supporting the implementation of the School Readiness Action Plan by a variety of community partners.
