It was another great day at RCSE! President Mark Sprosty reminded everyone of the book drive for Haven Elementary, the Annual RCSE Holiday Party and Toy Drive, and that the December 13th meeting will be at SEDA. Once all Rotary business items were discussed, Kim Campbell introduced our speaker, Lizann Roberts, who is the Executive Director of the Coastal Georgia Indicators Coalition.
The Coastal Georgia Indicators Coalition (CGIC) was formed in 2008 under the United Way. It's goal was to measure long term outcomes of initiatives in the community. In 2014, CGIC became it's own non profit. They work in four areas: economic, education, health, and quality of life. Lizann said that CGIC is good at hunting and gathering. Hunting for resources in our community and then gathering people together to make a plan. She then talked about some of their initiatives such as the Chatham Community Blueprint, language skills for 0-5 year olds, The Front Porch, Homeless Court, and Resilient Georgia Initiative. She ended her presentation by saying partnerships are our power to improve community wellbeing. To learn more about CGIC, please visit http://www.coastalgaindicators.org
