Alignment of ICIMC strategic plan with the Great Start Collaborative Strategic Plan- Looked for areas where ICIMC is aligned. Wendy Boyce outlined the Great Start Plan and passed out copies. She outlined the System Scan and the collected data was analyzed and certain themes emerged. The results were prioritized and root causes were discussed and activities were created. Two areas emerged as strong alignment with ICIMC and Great Start Collaborative plan“Voice” and “Gaps”. Also, alignment with “Address cultural and racial barriers.” Update Coalition Member List- Remove and delete names, add any other names, and email any new names to the cochairs. Executive Committee- The Executive Committee will be Regina Traylor-co chair, Mary Machowicz- co chair, Sandy Gellar-Treasurer, and Laura Zdybel- Secretary.
