CCC&Y Conference, Awards, Policy Initiatives

We have undergone so much growth and change recently- from mission and vision to structure- and are still in a growth process- but I don’t want to forget these important reminders on our major annual events.

1. Save the date for our best conference yet, 4-23-20. We heard the requests and will be at a larger venue this year due to our sold out attendance from around the State with a wait-list last year.
2. The Caring for Children Nominations are open now. Make sure you nominate folks making a difference for Coconino County Children & Youth- do not wait for the deadline which is fast approaching. (Click here to download a pdf of the nomination form or contact virginia@coconinokids.org for the word version of the nomination form.
3. Our action and outreach initiatives have been undergoing review and change- the board will be approving an update at our January board meeting. Please look for those to be forthcoming.

A special thank you to all of our members who support this work- see who our members are at https://coconinokids.org/partners/
