The Council for Collaborative Impact (CCI)  is comprised of individuals from Clay, Cherokee, and Towns counties who wish to keep abreast of services available for neighbors in our community that specifically address the areas of education, transportation, economic development, children’s issues, substance misuse, housing, and technology. They represent each of these areas through their work, volunteerism, and/or personal knowledge/interest and work collaboratively to better meet community needs in impactful and transformative ways. Updates from each of the task force areas are shared at the CCI meetings, following speaker presentations. This is a great opportunity to learn more about what is happening in these areas, exchange information and updates, and to network.
