2005 Roundtables and Work Groups
Part Three of the Forum on the Economics of Early Childhood Development
Economic Development Starts with the Development of Our Young Children
Co-hosts: Case Center for Regional Economic Issues (REI), The Economics of Early Childhood Development Initiative (EECD), and Invest in Children
Join us to build a regional dialogue from lessons learned in Cuyahoga County. Our goal is to engage our community in developing a regional strategy for child care across the 22 counties of northeast Ohio.
The EECD initiative leaders will work together to:
* Explore ways to open channels of communication with area businesses on child care issues
* Identify data necessary to make informed decisions on addressing quality from a regional perspective
* Determine steps to mobilize parents and provide them with information that will enable them to be informed voices on child care issues
*Identify research projects that promote an understanding of early childhood development as an economic development issue

The Workshop on Wednesday will:
* Highlight the Open Source Model as a context for early childhood initiatives. Presentation by Ed Morrison, Director, Case Center for Regional Economic Issues
* Present lessons learned from the efforts of Cuyahoga County’s Invest in Children
* Provide facilitation on project management, organizational and community engagement skills. Leaders are: Jack Ricchiuto, Smart Meeting Design and Jackie Acho, The Acho Group
* Leverage our regional internet infrastructure to support a global virtual community
Together we will build northeast Ohio as a national leader in early childhood development.
