Council for Collaborative Impact (CCI)

The Council for Collaborative Impact (CCI)  is comprised of individuals from Clay, Cherokee, and Towns counties who wish to keep abreast of services available for neighbors in our community that specifically address the areas of education, transportation, economic development, children’s issues, drug abuse, housing, and technology. They serve on CCI task forces that represent each of these areas and work collaboratively to better meet community needs in impactful and transformative ways. Any interested individuals are welcome to attend the CCI breakfast meetings and potentially serve on a task force. Each meeting will feature a guest speaker who will address a topic that has regional impact and who can be a resource for our community. Breakfast, served at 8:30am, is complimentary.

Our February 16 guest speaker is Patrick Woodie, president and CEO of  the NC Rural Center. The Center’s mission is to develop, promote, and implement sound economic strategies to improve the quality of life of rural North Carolinians. It serves the state’s 78 rural counties, with a special focus on individuals with low to moderate incomes and communities with limited resources.

The meeting will be in Moore Great Hall in the Lodge at Hinton Rural Life Center, 2330 Hinton Center Road, Hayesville NC. Please RSVP by Tuesday, February 14, to jim@hintoncenter.org or call 828-389-8336.
