Placer Strategic Plan (2007-2010)

Since its inception in 1999, the First 5 - Placer Commission recognized that it needed to intentionally and authentically engage the community in open learning environments where the community could think strategically and provide timely information. The input from these “Community Conversations” was used to create the original strategic plan adopted in 2000. Once the strategic plan was adopted, the Commission used a “Request for Results” application process as a vehicle to identify and fund results-oriented services through June 2004. These services were delivered through a Network of Partners.

When updating its strategic plan for the 2004-2007 time period the Commission decided to replicate its successful “Community Conversation” and “Request for Results” models to engage the community in providing input.

The First 5 - Placer Commission has continued to utilize this comprehensive approach to help ensure that the objectives of First 5 are met. Through this process the Commission is confident that the Strategic Plan for 2007-2010 represents the most effective use of Proposition 10 funds.
