Council for Collaborative Impact
Working Together for Successful, Thriving Communities
Council for Collaborative Impact
The Council for Collaborative Impact involves a group of local resources, businesses, and nonprofits who meet bi-monthly to impact their community. These meetings include workshops, seminars, forums, and brain-storming meetings. Anyone is invited to take part.

Task Force Areas
CCI has seven task force areas. These seven areas came from the Quality of Life study. The research pinpointed seven difference focuses that could use collaborative impact in this region. They are: Children’s Issues, Economic Development, Education, Housing, Substance Abuse, Technology, and Transportation.
If you would like to join a task force to impact your area, please call or email Ricky Hill at (828) 389-8336 or ricky@hintoncenter.org.
