SDG presents: Thursdays with SDG (Nosh, Network and Knowledge):

Guest Speakers:

• Sandra L. McBrayer, CEO, The Children’s Initiative
• Paula Ingrum, Report Card Project Director, The Children’s Initiative, and
• Robert C. Fellmeth, Executive Director, Children's Advocacy Institute.

The 2007 San Diego County Report Card on Children and Families is the continuation of a series of annual reports that provide a summary of the overall health and well-being of our county’s children, youth, and families. These reports have been produced annually since 1999 by the County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency.

Join us to learn about and discuss the overall well-being of our county’s children, youth, and families; national best practices in prevention and intervention; and recommendations for action specific to San Diego. What implications does this research have for your work as funders?

Mr. Fellmeth will provide insights from a state perspective. CAI works to improve the status and well-being of children in our society by representing their interests and right to a safe, healthy childhood.

This Report Card has been produced through a public/private partnership that includes the County Board of Supervisors, Health and Human Services Agency, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and SDG Members including the California Endowment, the McCarthy Family Foundation, and the Parker Foundation.
