In 2012, a group of leaders from throughout the tri-county region came together to focus on our community’s efforts for improving educational outcomes. These leaders included representatives from PreK-12 education, local colleges and universities, nonprofits, businesses, faith based organizations, and philanthropic, civic and community groups, and individual community volunteers. Knowing education is key to the quality of life and the economic success of the region, we committed to a vision where every child will graduate from high school prepared for either further education or a career in the modern workforce.
From this original group came the Tri-County Cradle to Career Collaborative (TCCC). Today, TCCC is led by a Board of Directors composed of 21 men and women in leadership positions throughout the community. A Community Leadership Council of more than 100 other leaders offer guidance, advocacy and support to the TCCC Board. Many other partner agencies and individuals are also part of our efforts; in the coming months, they’ll be mobilized through a series of networks focused on key assessment points across the educational continuum from cradle to career.
