On July 29, over 40 ecosystem members convened at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce for our summer network-wide meeting. Thank you to the GPCC and their staff for graciously hosting us for yet another meeting! To kick off the morning, attendees enjoyed some dedicated networking time over breakfast, plus, we debuted some new CASE swag.
Action teams shared out planning progress they have made and concrete steps they have taken over the last few months (see details outlined below), and our evaluators, Shaquinah Taylor and Sonia Szymanski of Future-Focused Strategies, presented the full evaluation report and key recommendations. Then, the three teams broke out to workshop and finalize action plans and project calendars for the upcoming school year.
On-Time High School Graduation Action Team
This action team announced the launch of the "What's Your Plan?" campaign that will be rolled out in collaboration with PhillyGoes2College.org. "What's Your Plan?" aims to ensure that every graduating senior leaves high school with a clear, actionable, post-secondary plan.
