Navigating the Way to A Statewide Regional System
This session was presented during BUILD 2022 National Conference.
This session featured a conversation with systems leaders, Cicely Fleming, Birth to Five Illinois, and Amy Hatheway, Virginia Early Childhood Foundation. Both Illinois and Virginia are designing and implementing regional structures to ensure families, service providers, and community members across the state are at the center in identifying local needs and developing solutions that prioritize the voices of those who have been historically disenfranchised. As states consider developing regional structures, these leaders shared why a statewide regional network is critical to address inequities and what they wish they knew as they began launching such complex systems change.
