Please join the Sacramento County Children’s Coalition and other community leaders committed to improving the health, well-being and safety of Sacramento’s children at the 5^th Biennial Children’s Report Card Briefing.  Together we will celebrate the release of the 2008 edition of the Sacramento County Children’s Report Card.

The Children's Coalition is an advisory body to the Board of Supervisors charged with assessing community needs, evaluating existing services and making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors and other policy-making bodies to promote the health and well being of children and families in Sacramento County.  Every two years, the Coalition publishes the Children's Report Card, a comprehensive report highlighting the changing conditions of children and families in the County.  The report provides a guide for policy development to improve the status of Sacramento's children.   

The Children’s Report Card Briefing will include a presentation of the report along with guest speakers and discussions regarding the implications of report findings.  Additional discussions will explore the development of a strategic report card marketing plan to targeted populations.  By engaging government agencies, business leaders, public and private organizations, faith-based community and youth leaders, the Summit will provide opportunities for participants to share their perspectives, gain new perspectives, and review the County’s progress towards advancing a collective agenda for children and families. 

As a community leader, your support and participation at the briefing is important to the Children's Coalition.  Please join us on Friday, November 21, 2008 for brunch from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m. at Sierra Health Foundation, 1321 Garden Highway, Sacramento CA 95833.

We would be delighted to present the Report Card to your staff and Board of Directors upon your request.  For more information, please contact Nancy Bui at (916) 447-7063 ext. 368 or nbui@communitycouncil.org.
