We’re building towards a future where we can all prosper together. Learn more.
We are bringing together the diverse voices, strengths, and ideas from across the region.
Our region is stronger when we share ideas.
Moving towards a brighter future where we can all prosper requires us all to show up.
This was our first official Collaborative meeting! On June 22, 2023 from 1pm – 3pm, we kicked off our “Summer of Collective Learning” series with a presentation from guest speaker Dr. Manuel Pastor. We made some major announcements regarding changes to the California Jobs First (CERF) program and other updates.
The Summer of Collective Learning series will give us time to learn and plan together around the California Jobs First program. From June to August, each monthly meeting will feature a collective learning session on topics related to the California Jobs First program’s values and goals, as well as time dedicated to advancing our region’s efforts.
