Now Is Your Chance!
SAVE THE DATE - Wednesday, July 17th! Downtown Flint
Please accept our invitation for our upcoming Community Based Care Forum, scheduled for July 17th from 11 AM to 3 PM. This event presents an invaluable opportunity for agencies across Genesee and Saginaw counties to come together, connect, and exchange updates on the impactful work being done in our communities.
We have noticed a common thread in our many interactions with agencies from Saginaw and Genesee—they are eager to learn more about each other's initiatives and activities. This is the perfect opportunity to connect!
At the Community Based Care Forum, you can anticipate:
Engaging with fellow agencies and professionals to foster connections from across the region
Gaining insights into inspiring projects and efforts in our region and sharing your own.
Discussion with nationally renowned experts in community-based care and families from the community.
Collaboratively defining further action steps to be taken.
Experience the latest in our technology.
More details about the event will follow soon, including the agenda and registration information. We encourage you to save the date and join us for what promises to be a beneficial and enriching gathering. Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our community. We look forward to coming together to strengthen our collective impact on July 17th.

"A NATIONAL DISCUSSION ON BEST PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED"
September 17 - 19, 2024
The Sixth Annual Community-Based Child Welfare National Symposium
Detroit, Michigan
Hollywood Hotel in Greektown
LET'S SHOW THEM HOW MICHIGAN CAN REPRESENT! REGISTER NOW!
Event Vision: Community Based Care models have been shown to address the needs of children and families more effectively. Those involved in these publicprivate partnerships know what is happening at the state or local level, but have difficulty getting information from those in other states. They want to know what is working, insights, new ideas, and how models are maturing. This gathering of like-minded professionals provides the chance to collaborate, share insights, and explore what is possible.
Please Note: CBCW National Symposium is not an FFTA event. The Event Host is The National Center for Community Based Child Welfare. FFTA serves as the event management partner.
When: September 17-19, 2024
Where: Hollywood Casino & Hotel At Greektown, Detroit
