Dear Partners and Friends:
It is our pleasure to invite you to the 9th Annual First 5 Statewide Conference, First 5’s Next 5: Roadmap to Readiness, scheduled for May 22-23, 2008, in Anaheim. A Pre-Conference Institute is scheduled for May 21, 2008.
This year marks the 10 years since the voters of California enacted Proposition 10. We have grown and set the groundwork for our future. We should take a moment to celebrate and then align our vision for the future.
This year’s Statewide Conference features an array of plenary sessions, workshops, and mini-institutes designed to maximize our collective opportunities.
Nationally renowned speakers will offer perspectives on the current policy environment and reflect on how First 5 can most effectively contribute to policy change.
Mini-institutes – twice as long as regular workshops – will create forums for in-depth exploration on a variety of topics.
Workshops are designed as opportunities for experts, county commissions and partners to highlight successes, strategies and promising practices.
This year’s conference promises to be a rich opportunity for all. We look forward to your participation and hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Kris Perry Executive Director
