REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors and the County Board of Education recently
co-sponsored two Symposiums on the Family to heighten community awareness
of family issues and to facilitate networking among service groups and
agencies. The Symposiums resulted in a proposal to establish a Contra
Costa Family Alliance.
About 90 percent of the participants at the second Symposium agreed on
the need for the Family Alliance. The participants also made specific
recommendations regarding its mission, charges, organization and
membership. These are reflected in the attached Summary of Responses. A
detailed listing of responses is also attached for the Board' s review.
It is recommended that the Board appoint a Blue Ribbon Steering Committee
to initiate the Alliance. The Steering Committee would work with
interested Symposium participants to establish membership and overall
structure. Recommended Steering Committee members represent all segments
of the community, as well as geographical interests.
Recommended Steering Committee members were active participants at the
Symposium sessions held in October and January. Most assisted in
developing preliminary recommendations regarding the concept of the
Contra Costa Family Alliance. All have expressed an interest in serving
on the Steering Committee.
