The Early Childhood Investment Corporation's staff and Executive Committee spent six months working together with the guidance of a an excellent consultant on our five-year strategic plan.  We had a remarkable level of board member engagement which included them meeting four times to think and talk about the plan.  Staff had two all staff working meetings and gave our leadership team ongoing feedback. Additionally, staff have been engaged in a process of evaluating and recreating our organization's culture - focusing on both how we work internally and with our partners.  You can read a summary of our plan here.
